Shock Room

Shock Room

A shock room is a cold storage system used to prevent food spoilage and preserve freshness by rapidly lowering the core temperature of products to freeze them.

What is a Shock Room?

A shock room is a special system designed to ensure that food remains fresh for a longer period and increases its durability. This process involves freezing every part of the product, starting from the outside and reaching the core. The shock room accelerates the freezing process by exposing food products to low temperatures quickly. This rapid freezing prevents the growth of bacteria and microorganisms, thereby extending the shelf life of food.

What is the Purpose of a Shock Room?

The question “What is a shock room?” can be answered as a cooling system used to prevent food spoilage and preserve freshness.

Products frozen in shock rooms become more resistant to decay and spoilage.

Shock room cooling systems typically operate within the temperature range of around -35°C to -40°C. The shock-freezing process requires processed products to be exposed to low temperatures in a short period of time. This is critical to maintaining product quality and extending shelf life. Products shock-frozen at -35°C / -40°C are later transferred to frozen storage rooms (-18°C / -25°C) for long-term preservation.

Features of a Shock Room System

A shock room system consists of the following main features:

• Precise Temperature Control
  Shock rooms operate within precise temperature ranges, allowing them to process a wide variety of products.

• Automatic Control Systems
  Modern shock rooms are usually equipped with automatic control systems, making operations more precise and efficient.

• Hygiene and Sanitation Standards
  Since shock room systems are widely used in the food industry, they are designed in compliance with high hygiene standards.

Types of Shock Rooms

Shock rooms are classified according to their usage purpose as follows:

• Food shock rooms

• Pharmaceutical shock rooms

• Medical shock rooms

• Industrial shock rooms

Shock Room Prices and Costs

Shock room prices vary depending on their purpose, size, cooling system, and insulation material. Shock room cooling costs not only include the price of the unit itself but also cover installation, labor, and transportation expenses.

The features, tonnage, and freezing times of the products to be stored in shock rooms play a significant role. At Umut Teknik Industrial Cooling Systems, based on detailed assessments, we carefully manufacture shock rooms using the most suitable materials for the system.

Shock Room Insulation and Its Importance

The insulation system used in shock rooms is essential to prevent heat loss. Calculating the shock room panel heat balance ensures performance and improves energy efficiency.

The insulation of shock room walls and ceilings is guaranteed with selected panels and accessories. For the flooring, XPS foam boards, reinforcement steel, and strengthened concrete are used to create a thermal bridge within the shock room floor.
