Forced-Air Produce Cooler

This is a plan for a simple device you can build yourself to speed cooling of non-wrapped produce packed in vented cartons. The cooler is designed for small fruits, but can easily be adapted for other products. Some dimensions of the cooler depend on the size of produce cartons used, so select and measure your cartons before starting construction. The cooler is designed to cool one to three columns of cartons (about 15 cartons per column, depending on carton depth) at a time.
