Buderim Air recently completed a major refrigeration infrastructure project for Cotton Tree Meats, delivering a full turnkey solution across multiple temperature-controlled production, storage, and processing environments.
This project involved designing, supplying, installing and commissioning refrigeration systems across five key operational areas, ensuring the business can maintain strict food safety standards while operating efficiently every day.
Every room within the facility has a different purpose and temperature requirement. We engineered a tailored solution for their:
-
Chilled pallet storage
-
Freezer storage
-
Processing cold room
-
High-occupancy packing area
-
Load-out cold room
Our design ensures fast pull-down times, stable room temperatures, reduced energy use and dependable performance during peak production.
Key features of the installed equipment include:
- Heavy-duty outdoor condensing units designed for the coastal environment
- Large-capacity indoor blower coils for consistent temperature distribution
- Commercial-grade construction for maximum uptime
- Quiet, efficient operation in high-traffic work areas
The result is a robust, future-proof refrigeration plant built to support Cotton Tree Meats for many years to come.
To help keep product protected at all times, each system is controlled with highly accurate digital controllers paired with Frigbot monitoring technology.
This provides:
- Live remote monitoring of all rooms
- Automatic daily reports
- Immediate alerts for temperature issues
- HACCP-compliant data logging
- Ability for Buderim Air to fine-tune systems off-site without interrupting operations
This ensures maximum uptime and rapid response to any changes in plant performance.
Our installation was completed to strict commercial food production standards, ensuring:
- Consistent room temperatures
- Clean, easy-to-wash finishes
- Minimal visual impact inside work areas
- Safe access for future servicing
- Reduced risk of product loss during busy production periods
Every room is set up with clear temperature displays and alarm thresholds to protect product integrity around the clock.
Buderim Air completed the full project—from design to final commissioning—using our in-house refrigeration and electrical teams.
We provided:
- A turnkey installation
- Full system commissioning
- Detailed handover
- 12-month installation and equipment warranty
- Ongoing remote support through Frigbot
Cotton Tree Meats now benefits from a modern, reliable, energy-efficient refrigeration systems built to support their growing operation.
