Storage of apples and pears

Storage facilities for fruits are developed according to specific customer requirements. Our specialists consider all possible nuances, for example, expansion or reconstruction with an increase in production volumes.

TECHNOLOGY OF APPLES AND PEARS STORAGE

For maximum safety of products, modern fruit storage facilities are equipped with ULO system (Ultra Low Oxygen), AC (atmosphere control), and DAC (dynamic atmosphere control).

  • preservation of the quality of apples and pears
  • extended shelf life
  • reduction of losses during long-term storage
  • preservation of taste

AGM allows changing the composition of the 

gas environment in the storage chambers for apples and pears. Fruit cooling (0–4 ° C), a decrease in the level of oxygen and an increase in the level of nitrogen slow down the metabolism and the process of breathing of fruit. AGM chambers allow to preserve the freshness and quality of the fruit, as well as to increase shelf life.

The technology of storing apples and pears in a controlled environment has another great advantage: the fruits, after being transferred from the chamber to the room temperature conditions, can be stored without losses within 20-30 days.

Fruits are stored in refrigerators in containers, laid in stacks. 

Based on many years of knowledge and experience, INCOOLS's specialists will choose an optimal cooling system, which is based on a special agricultural series of air coolers for your apple or pear storage, and will calculate the optimal equipment for maintaining the ULO (Ultra Low Oxygen).

EQUIPMENT USED

Fruit storage facilities

Air humidifiers

Humidifiers and dehumidifiers — maintain the necessary humidity in the storage facility. These devices contribute to the prevention of shrinkage of products and maintaining high turgor.

Fruit storage facilities

Nitrogen generator

Nitrogen generator - delivers high purity nitrogen to the chamber. Advantages: VSA type nitrogen generators, in contrast to PSA, are reliable in operation, nitrogen purity is more than 96%, operate at low pressures.

Fruit storage facilities

Refrigeration equipment

Refrigeration equipment - Refrigeration equipment - provides optimum temperature and air circulation inside the storage chambers. We use two types of refrigeration systems: - Direct expansion - with direct evaporation; - Non Direct expansion - with an intermediate coolant.

Fruit storage facilities

Equipment for DCS (Dynamic control system )

Еquipment DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEM allows adjusting the level of O2 and CO2 inside the storage chamber is very accurate (within 1 ppb - parts per billion). Quick and easy adjustment of the optimal percentage of oxygen. Daily double measurement of ethanol indicators.

Fruit storage facilities

Scrubbers

Scrubber is an equipment for absorbing carbon dioxide, which is the product of fruit breathing. 

It contains a molecular sieve that retains carbon dioxide gas molecules when air is passed  from the storage chamber through an adsorber.
