Controlled Atmosphere Storage

Advanced storage solutions that regulate oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen levels alongside temperature and humidity to prolong the freshness of perishable goods.

Controlled atmosphere (CA) storage facilities offer an enhanced method of preserving perishable items by adjusting the atmospheric composition within the storage environment. This technology is particularly beneficial for storing fruits and vegetables, as it slows down the natural ripening process. Key aspects include:

  • Monitoring and adjusting gas concentrations to optimal levels for specific products.
  • Maintaining precise temperature and humidity settings to complement atmospheric control.
  • Utilizing airtight storage rooms to maintain desired atmospheric conditions.
  • Implementing safety measures to handle and monitor gas levels effectively.

CA storage is ideal for businesses aiming to extend the marketability of seasonal produce, allowing for longer storage periods without compromising quality.
