The term Cold room, as generic as the name may sound, refers to a specially built room, chamber or an enclosure that is well-insulated or lagged so as to prevent direct thermal flow out of the room.

In a bid to provide answer to the meaning of cold room, let’s examine it’s various component parts. 

Cold room body: This is constructed from panels which are are usually fortified or made of insulating or lagging materials such as;

+ Polyurethane (PUR),
+ Polystyrene (PSR), and
+ Polyisocyanurate (PIR)

However, polystyrene insulted panel are relatively poor and are not acceptable to many companies and businesses. However, polyurethane and polyisocyanurate are excellent insulation materials.

Another very important part of a cold room is the door. The door must be able to support and sustain the operating temperature. The choice of door for any cold room is directly a function of its designed operating temperature.

Cold room door must be well-installed and gauged with plum to ensure proper air-tightness, and internal emergency feature is also a very important consideration.

In addition to the flooring, another very critical part of any cold room is the type of refrigeration unit installed to power the enclosure. There are several types of refrigeration units, we have the split type; roof mounted mono-block or wall-mounted mono block, among others.

Finally, it is important to engage expert and qualified professionals to design and build cold room because of delicate specifications, technical parameters and standards that are involved to get it right. DeKoolar Nigeria Limited is a leader in this industry; by experience and expertise spanning three decades.

Ideally, our machine can be powered by a generator within 15 – 18 KVA capacity

No. We do what we know how best to do and that is HVAC and the products we offer. However, we can recommend the appropriate generator to our customers who so require.

There are 2 types of the generator; Chinese and German brands with great price disparity estimated between N200, 000 to N1.1 million. Many clients opted for the Chinese brand.

We accept 70% mobilisation upon order placement, and balance of 30% upon delivery excluding other miscellaneous charges such as transportation and logistics.

The clear cut difference between the two models is in the production capacity, design and machine size. Compact Machine is more portable/moveable than Roomy Model.

Note that we designed and standardized our machines as much as possible, in a way that any HVAC technician should be able to maintain it, and these are available everywhere. However, we are always available for first hand contact in case of any maintenance service need by any client in any location. Whenever we need to attend to such support issue, we do make our support techs available.

A 20 kva generator can power any typical Coldroom.

In a lay man language, a cold-room is an enclosure or an empty space which is cooler (more chilled) than the surrounding environment. The idea of preserving food items and other perishables at low temperature is due to the fact that bacterial, fungi and other micro-organisms which destroy food become inactive at lower temperatures.

Also, consider the fact that the production volume of fish, meat, chicken, turkey, vegetables, drinks, and other perishable food items is practically much more than the demand hence the need for a means of storing and preserving them for just-in-time supplies to meet market demands. There are basically 2 models of cold room business in Nigeria.

1. Fish, Meat and Poultry Investment (Backward integration)

If you prefer fish and poultry, you might want to go into fish farming and poultry, but it is always better and stress-free when you choose to buy frozen fish, chicken and turkey from importers, farms or producers. When you source from them, you can stock the products in your cold room and resell to retailers and wholesalers.

2. Offering Cold Storage Service

Some cold room owners don’t even sell anything; they just focus on helping other people to preserve their products and get paid for their service. You can also choose this niche.

Now imagine the necessity to store and preserve these essential perishables for sale in a country of over 200 Million people. This is certainly a huge market to explore at any point in time.
