Cold Room Calculator

A dedicated cold environment is strongly recommended for consistent, high-quality results. Walk-in coolers, cold rooms, or properly insulated garage spaces all work well. The key is maintaining temperatures between 32–38°F throughout the wash process.

For rooms up to 200 sq ft, a 1–2 ton mini-split or through-wall refrigeration unit works well. For larger operations, a dedicated walk-in cooler refrigeration system from brands like Heatcraft or Bohn provides the most reliable temperature control and serviceability.

DIY cold room builds for small operations (8×10 ft) typically range from $5,000–$12,000 depending on insulation, refrigeration unit, and electrical work. Commercial pre-fabricated walk-in coolers range from $8,000–$25,000 installed. Our calculator provides a rough estimate based on your workflow requirements.
