Control-Tec for Storage Rooms
Specialized chambers for degreening, analyze, ripening, astringency removal and research
Control-Tec™ Analyzer
Automatic control and management of environmental parameters for degreening, ripening and storage
System continuously measures temperature, humidity and CO2, automatically adjusting levels of ethylene and analyzing CO2 in the chamber to match programmed parameters
Maintains optimal levels for unique physiology of the produce to achieve maximum quality
Control-Tec™ Degreening
Automatically regulates heat, humidity and ethylene in degreening and ripening chambers
Controls and adjusts temperature and relative humidity (RH) per scheduled intervals, adjusting ethylene and controlling CO2 to maximize produce quality
Utilizes temperature and RH probes, air heaters, spray nozzles, and air recirculation and extraction systems to provide precise regulation of chamber conditions
Control-Tec™ Humidifier
Automatic humidification system by Air / Water nozzles
Humidification of the chamber environment through small drops.
Maintenance of moderate relative humidity, without wetting the fruit.
Reduces weight losses by not having to give water from the fruits to the environment, as it is saturated with moisture.
It works with normal water from the network, without the need for water treatment. It does not increase the ambient temperature, even lowering it slightly
Control-Tec™ Ultrahumidifier
System of automatic humidification of air by ultrasound, allowing the maintenance of the environmental humidity.
Innovative technology: spraying water vapor by ultrasound
Water micro-droplets are smaller than 4 microns in size, which prevents the accumulation of water
Micro-droplets remain suspended in the air for longer
Adaptable for different types of storage environments, cold rooms in packing houses, supermarket stock rooms and wholesalers
Suitable for all crops
Control-Tec™ Persimmon
The only safe technology for persimmon astringency removal
Provides total control over conservation, degreening, ripening and astringency removal processes in your chambers
View and control the environmental parameters of chambers at any time and from any compatible electronic device
Control-Tec™ Pure Air
The latest technology to improve fruit storage without residues
Purifies the air in the storage room atmosphere, reducing bacteria and fungal spores
Special germicide technology means no additional fruit residues
Control-Tec™ Research
Advanced controlled atmosphere cabin technology for food research
Research and experimentation cabins provide ultimate atmosphere control for fruits, vegetables and other foods
Easily combine different variables involved with fruit and vegetable processes (e.g., gas concentrations, temperature, RH), with visual monitoring and recording of all parameters
Control-Tec™ Ripening
CO2 and ethylene measurement and control equipment in fruit ripening chambers.
Instant measurement and visualization of CO2 and ethylene concentration.
Automatic selection and control of the level of CO2 and ethylene in the chambers.
Automatic programming of the maturation process duration and automatic change to conservation
Warning of possible anomalies in operation.
Control-Tec™ Software
