Vacuum Cooling Solutions for Flowers can be a powerful tool in this process, if applied correctly, and if using the right technology and settings. Weber Cooling Australia has supplied flower cooling solutions to farmers, shippers and traders all around the world. Our dedicated Vacuum Cooling Solutions for Flowers offer ease of operation and guarantee perfect cooling results at minimal Cost of Ownership.

VACUUM COOLING FOR FLOWERS & COLD CHAIN MANAGEMENT
VACUUM COOLING
Can offer many advantages for the flower growers, as well as their logistic partners. The last group is already using vacuum cooling on many airports, both on the departing and the arrival side. Further improvement on quality, yield, cost saving etc. can be realised by vacuum cooling closer to the source, at the farm. The faster you start lowering the flower temperature, the longer the transportation time can be, without reducing vase life.
Once harvested, all flowers will get stress. This stress results in respiration (breathing) and transpiration (sweating). Both are mainly triggered by temperature. By quick pre-cooling both respiration & transpiration can be reduced by 75% or more, resulting in quality preservation and minimising the botrytis risk, thus reducing on reject & waste!
CONTROL THE FLOWER TEMPERATURE
Flower continue to generate heat during transportation. This can result in uncontrollable temperature increases which will shorten shelf life! The number of “degree hours” is a good measurement of the temperature exposure and resulting loss of vase life. A good explanation on this you find on the website of FlowerWatch. Weber Cooling Australia understands what’s needed for perfect pre-cooling of flowers and offers solutions which will help you optimise your flower cold chain.
