Fruit

The fruit industry is one of the main industries in which we operate. Our gastight coatings have been used in this industry for over 35 years.

industry Information

CA/ULO/DCA

Controlled Atmosphere (CA), Ultra Low Oxygen (ULO) and Dynamic Controlled Atmosphere (DCA) are technologies to keep fresh produce preserved for as long as possible after harvesting. In CA storage, the oxygen level and CO2 level are controlled, using nitrogen, relative humidity and storage temperature. ULO storage means storing at an extremely low oxygen level. Fruits can be preserved even longer in DCA storage. This is done by using extremely low oxygen levels and temperatures, and continuously measuring values. By means of these storage technologies, fruits can be preserved for a long time, up to 12 months. The gastightness of the room is very important, especially in DCA technologies.

Ripening Rooms

Achieving the right color, taste, quality and structure of tropical fruits is essential during the ripening process. To realize that, a perfect climate control is needed. Without an airtight room it can be difficult to completely control the in-room atmosphere. Ethylene gas can escape through joints, but outside air can enter as well, with another temperature or air composition.

Protection

Gastight

Fruit storage rooms only function optimally when the room is made completely gastight. Specifically, without a gastight room, it is difficult to bring and keep your storage rooms on regime. Important aspects to check for gastightness apart from a gastight door, passages and the inspection hatch, are the panel joints of a storage room.

Symptoms

The fruit industry focuses on the storage and ripening of fruits, which require specific temperature and
humidity conditions to maintain freshness, prevent spoilage, and control ripening processes.

Uneven Ripening

Inconsistent conditions leading to poorly ripened fruit.

Mold Growth

High humidity causing mold on fruit surfaces.

Temperature Fluctuations

Spoilage due to unstable storage temperatures.

Ethylene Gas Buildup

Over-ripening or spoilage due to improper ventilation.
