At Maxwell, we have in-depth knowledge of post-harvest handling and cooling processes. Residence time, equipment and refrigeration specifications are designed to meet your needs.

What is it for?

Maxwell Hydrocoolers quickly reduce the core temperature of fresh produce, prolonging shelf life and preserving taste and appearance.

How does it work?

The system consists of a swimming pool with a flooded stainless steel exchanger on which ice accumulates and a lifting system that submerges the product in the water allowing faster cooling than with the shower system and allowing the addition of sealants that greatly avoid the subsequent loss of weight in long shipments of merchandise.
