Durian Delight Sdn Bhd, a growing durian exporter based in Penang, Malaysia, faced challenges in maintaining the quality of their prized Musang King durians during storage and export. They approached ARTECO to develop a customized cold storage solution that could meet the unique requirements of durian preservation.

ARTECO's team of experts worked closely with Durian Delight to design a cold room tailored specifically for durian storage. The focus was on maintaining optimal temperature and humidity levels to preserve the fruit's distinctive flavor and texture while managing its strong odor.

Key features of the custom-built facility include:

Precise temperature and humidity control system
Specialized air filtration to manage durian's pungent aroma
Energy-efficient cooling units to reduce operational costs
Modular design allowing for future expansion
Smart monitoring system for real-time environmental tracking
The 150-square-meter facility can store up to 15 tons of durians at temperatures between 4°C to 6°C, ideal for maintaining fruit quality without freezing.

Since implementing the new cold storage, Durian Delight has reported a 30% increase in product shelf life and a 20% reduction in fruit spoilage. The improved storage capabilities have enabled the company to expand its export markets, reaching customers in China and Singapore with consistently high-quality durians.

This project showcases ARTECO's ability to provide specialized refrigeration solutions for niche markets, addressing unique challenges in tropical fruit preservation and contributing to the growth of Malaysia's durian export industry.
