Banana Ripening Chamber

Product Details

Our Banana / Mango ripening chamber available with Puf panel, civil insulation, refrigeration, humidification, ethylene dosing system, with fully automatic units. Our Ethylene dosing system / ethylene generator, is available with latest and easy mechanical user friendly technology.   Features: * RIPENING: Banana / Mangoes are one of the few fruits that ripen best off the plant. If left on the plant, the fruit splits open and the pulp has a "cottony" texture and flavour. Even in tropical growing areas, bananas for domestic consumption are cut green and stored in moist shady places to ripen slowly. As bananas ripen, the starch in the fruit turns to sugar. Therefore, the riper the banana the sweeter it will taste. The commercial practice is to ripen bananas artificially by using ethylene gas. A substance produced by the fruits accelerates the normal process of fruit maturation. Temperature monitoring during ripening is critical. Normally temperatures between 14.5 ºC and 16.5 ºC will be adequate. If ripening temperatures are too high (normally above 18 ºC) the fruit can become over-ripe too fast, soften but remain green and or split through the skin. Relative Air Humidity during ripening is also critical and levels lower than 85% RH can produce ripe fruit with too much scarring and symptoms of dehydration, as well as fruit with a greyish tan. Pressurized or forced-air rooms-pressurized rooms create a pressure gradient between rows of stacked boxes lined up into a tunnel with a differential pressure gradient between the inside and outside of this tunnel to force the air through the fruit, rather than around the boxes.   * BAFLO: Ripening system with emission of ethylene mixture. The apparatus can be used to increase ethylene for fruit/vegetables ripening (banana, pears, mango, tomatoes, etc.) Or fruit DE greening (banana). This new board including PLC system allowing the automatic emission of ethylene mixture (nitrogen at 95%) inside the room. The emission of ethylene, in combination with warm temperature, promote the metabolism of the fruits increasing their respiration. The ethylene mixture flow is regulated by the programmed system connected to the ethylene/nitrogen cylinder.   The complete system includes: 1 Touch screen and PLC on the Board 1 Electro value for each room for the Nitrogen/Ethylene mixture emission. 1 Rilsan Pipes for each Room.
