Seed Storage Cold Chain Solutions

Seed storage is the process of preserving seeds while maintaining their initial quality until they are needed for planting. Proper storage conditions slow down metabolic activity, reduce seed aging, and prevent loss of viability, discoloration, toxin production, and fungal growth—thereby increasing longevity. The key principle of seed storage is maintaining a cool and dry environment, as lower temperatures and reduced moisture levels extend seed viability. This helps in long-term conservation and minimizes deterioration.

Seeds stored at stringent temperature and RH conditions which Rinac solution design takes care with top most accuracy

Very high due to Rinac’s unique LRH refrigeration system design which eliminates dehumidifier for controlling the RH

There are short term , medium term and long term storages and the design will be made based on the same

Regularly.

  • Construction time is more.
  • Insulation property is poor.
  • Seed life will be lesser compared to modern cold storages.
  • Power consumption will be much higher.
  • Temperature and RH accuracy will be less.
  • Salvage value is less.

  • Civil construction-based (walls, beams, columns).
  • EPS insulation with mesh and plastering.
  • Refrigeration and dehumidifier systems for temperature & RH control.

  • Clean construction with Insulated Panel Systems
  • Energy-Efficient, Low RH Refrigeration
  • Customizable Racking Options
