The ability of agricultural products, citrus fruits, and sensitive foods to maintain their value after being harvested depends directly on the climate control quality of the warehouse they are stored in. Temperature and humidity fluctuations in industrial cold storages can lead to the rotting of products and millions of liras worth of crop damage. The building brand of the Ertaş Group with superior insulation technology, Blok Bims, uses the natural climatization power of volcanic pumice to offer the agricultural and logistics sectors the opportunity to build energy-saving, breathable, and fully protected storage areas.
Energy-Saving Cooling with Natural Thermal Barrier
The biggest operating cost in cold storages is the electrical energy consumed by industrial cooling engines (HVAC) working 24/7 to maintain the low temperature inside. While traditional concrete or metal sandwich panels easily transmit the scorching heat outside to the inside, highly insulated pumice blocks act as a perfect thermal barrier. Blocking heat transfer thanks to the millions of microscopic air voids inside it, Blok Bims protects the interior of the warehouse like a thermos. In this way, the operating time of the cooling systems is shortened, a massive decrease in energy bills is achieved, and the mechanical life of the system is extended.
"Breathable" Walls Preventing Product Spoilage
In agricultural storage, not only coldness but also humidity control is of vital importance. Sweating (condensation) in enclosed areas causes water droplets to accumulate on products such as potatoes, onions, lemons, or apples, causing them to mold and rot rapidly. The chemical-free natural volcanic texture of Blok Bims absorbs excess moisture inside and expels it through the wall. This breathable building material prevents sweating by naturally supporting air circulation in the warehouse; maximizing the shelf life and freshness of the products.
Why Blok Bims in Industrial Storage Facilities?
- Maximum Climatization (Insulation): Thermal performance that radically reduces cooling costs by trapping the cold air inside and blocking the hot air outside.
- Anti-Bacterial and Moisture Preventive: A 100% natural ecological structure that physically prevents the formation of mold, fungus, and bacteria by balancing the moisture in the air.
- Structural Resistance Against Heavy Loads: A robust volcanic skeleton that shows superior resistance to impacts and blows in large logistics warehouses with high stacking.
Do not leave your agricultural products produced with great effort and your logistics investments to chance. Build the walls of your facilities with the natural insulation power of Blok Bims, and secure freshness for years with the assurance of the Ertaş Group.
