Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé amélioré d'emballage et de refroidissement de produits. Selon la présente invention, des barquettes d'emballage de fruits sont pourvues de conduits de ventilation situés au niveau d'une surface inférieure de la barquette. Des ouvertures de ventilation communiquent entre les conduits de ventilation et les produits stockés dans les barquettes. Des évents supérieurs sont formés sur les quatre côtés de la partie supérieure des barquettes. Suite à l'emballage des produits dans les barquettes, celles-ci sont chargées sur des cagettes. Les cagettes peuvent comprendre des évents alignés avec les conduits de ventilation. En variante, les cagettes peuvent ne pas comprendre d'évents de manière à améliorer certains régimes de refroidissement. Des pallettes entières de barquettes remplies de produits, orientées dans une direction "X" ou "Y", peuvent ainsi être efficacement refroidies par introduction d'un flux d'air de refroidissement dans les barquettes et, par conséquent, sur les produits emballés à l'intérieur, indépendamment de l'orientation des cagettes. Les cagettes et les barquettes ont une dimension qui leur permet d'occuper toute la surface d'une palette de transport classique, et de minimiser le mouvement des barquettes dans les cagettes, et des cagettes les unes par rapport aux autres.
