CA/ULO long-term storage facilities
After harvesting, fruit and vegetables ripen until they finally rot. This process can be inhibited by storing the products under conditions of reduced oxygen and an increased carbon dioxide concentration. The storage time is significantly increased while quality and taste remain unaffected.
Technology for every process
Depending upon the storage conditions a differentiation is made between three primary warehousing processes:
- CA – Controlled Atmosphere
- ULO – Ultra Low Oxygen
- DCA – Dynamic CA
We deliver the appropriate technology for each of these three warehousing processes. The outstanding features of our systems are:
-
Precision
-
Reliability
-
Energy efficiency
Matched to your requirements
For CA/ULO long-term storage facilities it is particularly important that the system is matched to your individual requirements. Each product demands its own special storage conditions. The duration of storage and the size of the warehouse also have a decisive influence on the technology used. Depending upon the requirements we employ:
-
State-of-the-art environmentally compatible and robust refrigeration technology
-
High-performance nitrogen generators which employ PSA and VPSA technology
-
Precise DCA control systems for CA/ULO processes
-
High-performance DCA CO2 adsorber technology for low CO2 values with an extremely low O2 concentration at the same time
-
Humidification systems for optimum air humidity in CA/ULO cold storage facilities
Outline your requirements to us – and we’ll develop the appropriate solution!
