As the seasons change and the time of harvest approaches once again, ensuring the safe storage and freshness of food has become an important task that we cannot afford to ignore.

1. Professionalism to help the project reach the full force

Hubei is located in a medium-temperature, high humidity grain storage area. Every year during the wheat harvesting season, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are in the rainy season, and the temperature of the grain silo rises quickly. High temperature not only affects the quality of grain, but also leads to the proliferation of pests. High-quality grain storage and logistics facilities are the foundation and key to guaranteeing food security.

The National Grain Modern Logistics and National Rice Trading Centre Frozen Products Processing Phase I Project is a national key project approved by the State Grain Administration and projected by the National Development and Reform Commission. The project is situated on the beautiful Yangtze River, which opens up the ‘artery’ of waterway transport. The project is located on the left bank of Yangluo Waterway, Longkou Road, Shuangliu Street, Xinzhou District, Wuhan City, adjacent to the Yangtze River in the west, with a total construction area of about 117,000 square metres, including frozen product processing plant, centralised equipment rooms and outdoor supporting frost water pools. As a professional supplier of assembled cold storage enclosure system, Wiskind, with high-quality products and services, has contributed to the success of the project.

2.High quality to build a fortress for food security

Good products create good food storage conditions. Wiskind Ricochet® polyurethane cold storage panels were used in the frozen materials cold storage units of the project, totalling about 17,000m2. Ricochet® polyurethane cold storage panels adopt a new generation of polyurethane rigid core material, with dense foam and surface material fully bonded to form an uninterrupted heat shield, effectively blocking heat conduction, with excellent heat preservation performance, and effectively guaranteeing the quality of grain.

The core material of the cold storage board is thermosetting material, which has no melting and dripping in case of fire and heat, and has good structural stability, which meets the customer's demand for higher fireproof performance. Polyurethane composite with metal surface material improves the flame retardant property of the board; at the same time, the closure rate of polyurethane rigid foam thermal insulation material can reach more than 95%, and the excellent fire-retardant, flame-retardant and waterproof performance of Wiskelite Colour Crystal® creates a safe and durable cold storage fortress for grain storage.

Grain is stored in the ground, and grain is stored in technology. The project contains two three-dimensional cold storage units, with a net height of 20.1m and 0.45m into the ground, which is a bit higher compared with conventional cold storage plant buildings. In order to meet the demand of the project, Wiskind provided 20.75m long whole boards, and the professional production line not only maintains the beauty of the cold storage assembly, but also further guarantees the good heat preservation performance of the building.

3. Craftsmanship guards and contributes value

In the future, the base will become the largest north grain south transport distribution and import grain transit base in central China, which is of great significance for building a port-type logistics hub in Wuhan, central China's multimodal transport centre, a regional supply chain service platform, and maintaining national food security and emergency response guarantee. Wiskind will also continue to explore more excellent performance of the products, to better serve modern agriculture, cold chain logistics and other fields with science and technology and innovation, to meet the market demand and create greater value of cold storage facilities!
