Ethylene and Pathogen Control
for Post-harvest
Protect the quality of high value fresh produce held in industrial cold rooms.
Post Harvest Controls
The quality of produce kept in storage may suffer in many
aspects due to improper storage conditions. Mould, rot, premature ripening, shrivel, and weight loss are among the undesirable effects. While high relative humidity helps to eliminate shrivel and weight loss, the challenges caused by airborne bacteria and ethylene (a natural ripening hormone) require a special treatment.
This is when the positive effects of Bio Turbo are most beneficial. It uses a patented four stage process to eliminate ethylene gas, airborne bacteria and mould spores. It successfully prevents mould growth, eliminates unpleasant odours, and reduces unnecessary losses while preserving natural freshness and quality.
- Increased Profit
- Preserved Quality
- Reduced Waste
- Extends Storage Life
- Decreases Odours & Cross Contamination
STAGE 1: AIR FILTER
Air Fan
The air filter removes dust and visual particles from the air.
STAGE 2: CELL DISRUPTER
An anti-microbial chemical is applied to the surface of a specially designed disrupter. It works by rupturing the outer membrane of the cells that make up these airborne pathogens. With efficiency rates of 99.5%+, this process stops their normal life development, thus destroying the cells.
STAGE 3: OZONE CHAMBER
This chamber uses the positive effects of ozone to eliminate ethylene gas. The ozone is safely contained within this chamber and not dispersed throughout the storage area.
STAGE 4: BIO CLEAN MODULE
In this final stage, a catalyst is used to change the ozone into clean oxygen. The catalyst creates a reaction that breaks down the ozone molecule. From here the clean oxygen is released back into the environment.
