This book discusses the major factors that must be taken into account concerning the problems of refrigerated storage. Comprised of five chapters, this book starts with an overview of the various types of warehouse, taking into consideration not only their multi-purpose or specialized activities, but also the part assigned to them in countries with planned, liberal, or state economies. This text then describes the proper handling of merchandise in different stages, including on entry, during the storage of the goods within the cold store, and on exit. Other chapters deal with the recommendations for the processing and handling of frozen goods. The final chapter considers the special safety precautions in force on industrial premises to improve personnel safety. This book is a valuable resource for plant personnel and engineers.
