INVESTING IN AGRICULTURE:
A PROFITABLE NICHE

 

The agricultural industry yields above-average returns and is secured by essential need.

Consumer demand for fresh fruits and vegetables continues to increase due to population growth and improved nutrition education. The challenge for American growers and shippers is to extend the shelf-life of their crops to help meet that demand.  

 Pre-cooling is a critical first step in the harvesting process. By using efficient and economical pre-cooling equipment, the heat is quickly removed from fresh-picked fruits and vegetables, preventing the growth of microbes that hasten the process of decay and improving the quality of the produce from field to table.

PHT’s Diversified Equipment Fund allows directed investment into the cutting-edge equipment associated with highly profitable pre-cooling and cold storage facilities and processes.  Additionally, PHT will also offer investments into the following technologies: 

  • Automation for coolers
  • Solar Energy
  • Cogeneration Systems
  • Material Handling

The pandemic triggered an explosion of online grocery shopping as consumers across the nation remained in their homes and eschewed grocery stores, supermarkets and produce stands. To handle the speed and volume of orders, growers increasingly look to technologies like precooling and cold storage to extend the shelf life of their crops and meet the new demand.

With the debut of Amazon Fresh, both institutional investment and private equity investment in the U.S. industrial cold storage industry skyrocketed. Projections indicate that the American cold storage warehouse industry will need to add 100 million square feet of space over the coming five years to keep pace with the projected growth of online grocery sales. This equates to a 47% increase in existing precooling services and cold storage warehousing capabilities.

It is important to note that in the United States, the demand for precooling and cold storage services currently exceeds the supply.

PRECOOLING
EQUIPMENT
 

These top-of-the-line precooling systems provide economical cooling products that continually ensure excellent arrivals of fresh produce, long shelf life, and increased profits for the produce industry.

MOBILE ICE GENERATOR

MOBILE ICE GENERATOR

Mobile Ice Generators are self-contained engine rooms, and only require water, power, and to be charged with ammonia to operate. A separate refrigeration system is not needed to operate this product. It connects to a facility or an ice storage unit and ice injection system.

ICE INJECTOR

ICE INJECTOR

Ice injectors reclaim chilled water that saves cost and improves efficiency. The ice injector with auto push off can directly feed into an opening of a facility, adding to cooling efficiency, and does not break the cold chain. It allows for very high capacity (20,000+ cartons per day cooled with ease).

ICE STORAGE UNIT

ICE STORAGE UNIT

Ice Storage Units store 35 tons of flake ice at a temperature which will maintain the consistency of the ice without it bridging or turning into slush. The Ice Generator is the source of the ice and can produce up to 7.5 tons of flake ice per hour.

MOBILE HIGH SIDE

MOBILE HIGH SIDE

The mobile high side is a self-contained mobile engine room that provides refrigeration and cooling capacity, as well as flexibility for customers with multiple facility locations and cooling applications.

VACUUM TUBE

VACUUM TUBE

Vacuum Tubes are used in the vacuum cooling process to combine vacuum pumps with a refrigeration system and expose the vegetable to a lower boiling point of the water within and on the vegetable. This causes the water to cool, thereby pre-cooling lettuces and other vegetables.
