Supporting Fisheries Across the Globe
Rinac’s Cold Chain Expertise

In the vast and interconnected world of fisheries, cold chain solutions are essential for preserving seafood quality and ensuring its safe delivery from catch to consumer. Rinac India Limited is proud to play a vital role in the global fisheries sector by providing innovative and tailored solutions for storage, processing, and transportation. Our expertise spans the globe, from India to Brunei to Senegal, supporting the industry with state-of-the-art infrastructure and technology.

Key Challenges in Fisheries/Seafood/Marine Cold Storage

Temperature Control & Uniformity

Maintaining consistent temperatures prevents spoilage, bacterial growth, and loss of product quality.

Humidity Management

Proper humidity prevents freezer burn and excess ice formation, maintaining product integrity.

Rapid Cooling (Blast Freezing)

Quickly freezing seafood ensures freshness and prevents microbial growth.

Corrosion and Hygiene

Saltwater corrosion requires corrosion-resistant materials and stringent hygiene standards in storage facilities.

Odour Control and Cross-Contamination

Effective odour control prevents cross-contamination and preserves product quality.

Energy Efficiency

Balancing energy use with consistent cooling is a major challenge in seafood cold storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rinac’s cold storage solutions are designed for a wide range of seafood—fish, shrimp, shellfish, and other marine products including value added products—across various forms like fresh, frozen, or processed.

Our systems support a wide range, from +15°C for the process area to chilled storage 2 Deg C, -40 Deg C Blast Freezing, Plate freezers & Spiral freezer for value added products, -22 Deg C Brine Freezing, -25°C for storage of finished goods, ensuring ideal conditions for seafood preservation.

Yes, all our solutions comply with HACCP, FSSAI, FDA, and other global standards for hygiene and food safety.

Absolutely. We offer end-to-end turnkey solutions—from design and manufacturing to installation and after-sales support.

We use advanced insulation panels, high-efficiency ammonia & Freon refrigeration systems, and smart IoT monitoring to reduce energy consumption without compromising performance.

Yes. We tailor make the cold storage layouts, racking systems, and cooling technology based on geography, climate, and product needs.

By ensuring rapid cooling, uniform temperature, we preserve seafood texture, taste, and shelf life.

Yes, our IoT-based solutions enable real-time monitoring and alerts for temperature, humidity, and system performance.

We offer a complete range of ice machines including block ice, flake ice, tube ice, and slurry ice machines to suit various seafood processing and preservation needs.

Block Ice: Large, dense ice blocks ideal for long-distance seafood transportation.
Flake Ice: Thin, flat pieces perfect for direct contact with fish to maintain freshness.
Tube Ice: Cylindrical ice with a hollow core, used for packing and display.
Slurry Ice: Semi-liquid ice offering maximum surface contact—ideal for rapid chilling and processing environments.

Slurry ice is most suitable as it quickly reduces temperature without damaging delicate seafood surfaces, maintaining texture and quality.

Yes. All ice machines can be seamlessly integrated into our turnkey projects, ensuring synchronized operations and optimal chilling at each stage.

Absolutely. All machines are built with corrosion-resistant materials and comply with food-grade and marine standards, ensuring safety and durability.

Rinac delivers complete end-to-end solutions—from concept design, manufacturing, and civil construction to installation, commissioning, and after-sales service.

With in-house design, manufacturing, project management, and skilled manpower, Rinac reduces coordination delays and ensures projects are completed on time with precision.

Yes. Our turnkey scope covers seafood processing units, IQF lines, cold rooms, ice plants, brine systems, and logistics cold storage—all under one roof.

Brine freezing involves immersing seafood in a chilled brine solution for rapid freezing. It's ideal for crustaceans and different types Tuna fish where fast core temperature reduction is needed.

Yes, we offer fully integrated brine freezing systems, including tanks, agitators, refrigeration units, and control systems tailored to seafood requirements.

Brine freezing is immersion-based and faster for high-salt-tolerant products, while IQF and blast freezing use cold air for individual or bulk freezing respectively.

We provide pre-engineered cold rooms, large-scale refrigerated warehouses, storage racks, Material handling equipment and modular storage with temperature zones tailored for frozen, chilled, or dry marine products.

Yes. Depending on the number of SKU’s processed we select the type of storage system- Mobile, Drive in, Shuttle, or selective racking. Rinac’s modular designs allow easy access, expansion to match peak seasonal loads or future business growth.

Absolutely. We design and select storage system depending on the application. Also zoned storage with independent temperature and control for different seafood types, batch, also potential preventing cross-contamination.

Rinac offers end-to-end after-sales support for marine infrastructure including cold rooms, ice machines (flake, slurry, block, tube), brine freezers, and processing lines. Services include Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC), breakdown support, energy audits, refurbishment, reinstallation, and spare parts supply—ensuring optimal uptime for seafood operations.

Yes. Rinac’s IoT-enabled central monitoring systems allow seafood operators to track temperature, humidity, and machine health in real time—especially useful for remote marine outposts and cold chain logistics hubs.

Rinac’s AMC includes preventive maintenance checks, priority service, calibration of temperature sensors, replacement of wear parts in ice machines and freezers, and performance optimization audits to ensure hygiene, reliability, and product safety.

Rinac offers energy audits, system upgrades (e.g., VFDs, insulation retrofits), and optimized refrigerant management to reduce power consumption—vital for coastal plants & in countries like Africa, SAARC and ASEAN with high operational costs or limited energy availability.
