Company Overview

SHUR-STOR SYSTEMS produces a specialized humidification system for potato storages, carrot storages and other vegetables. The FOGMASTER humidification system is capable of maintaining 95%+ humidity levels in the storage, which means that the product can be kept fresh and firm for a period of up to one year.

FOGMASTER uses a combination of compressed air and pressurized water blasted through a specially designed nozzle to produce a fine fog which envelopes the product in the storage. It creates a positive vapour pressure around each tuber, maintains or replaces the moisture given off by the product through natural respiration.

FOGMASTER is the only commercial unit capable of pumping fungicides and bactericides up through a pile of potatoes 5 metres deep. Refrigeration in potato and vegetable storages dries out the product causing serious weight loss.

The FOGMASTER humidification system replenishes the moisture taken out by refrigeration and the product stays fresh and firm. Our major Canadian and export customers include McCain Foods, Hostess/Frito-Lay and Cavendish Farms. We currently export to markets in Argentina, U. S. A., U. K., and Hungary.

FOGMASTER is produced in several models to meet the requirements of individual growers.

  KOOLJET Refrigeration Systems are one-piece, through the wall refrigeration units, especially designed to operate in high humidity situations. KOOLJET Refrigeration Systems are used for cooling agricultural produce, such as cabbage, carrots, potatoes, etc. KOOLJET is also used in blast freezing applications for meat, fish and fruits. With an optional heater, the KOOLJET can be used in Distribution Warehouses, where cooling is needed in hot weather and heat is required in cold weather. KOOLJET Refrigeration units are completely factory assembled, charged with refrigerant and thoroughly tested before shipping to the end-user. At the customer's facility, the unit is simply installed in the wall opening, the electrical supply is connected and KOOLJET is ready to cool the product to the desired temperature. No complicated field assembly is required. KOOLJET requires a very small amount of refrigerant compared to conventional refrigeration systems, so it is environmentally friendly.
