It's never been this smart or efficient to store kiwifruit. Introducing EthyControl Plus, the all-in-one atmospheric control solution that is transforming cold storage ethylene management. EthyControl Plus, which was created especially to meet the demands of kiwifruit storage, improves fruit quality, reduces energy usage by up to 80%, and controls ethylene levels with unparalleled accuracy—down to 10 parts per billion (ppb).

 

Why EthyControl Plus?

  • Up to 80% Energy Savings: by reducing the frequency of heating and cooling cycles, EthyControl Plus significantly lowers cooling demand. Both your fruit and your bottom line will benefit from that.
  • Less Dehydration: Conventional systems cause more moisture loss. By maintaining humidity, EthyControl Plus lessens dehydration and keeps your kiwifruit's natural firmness and freshness.
  • Precise Ethylene Control at PPB Level: EthyControl Plus continuously checks and modifies ethylene levels in real time using an advanced PPB analyzer and multiplexer, guaranteeing ideal conditions for long-term storage
  • All-in-One System:  EthyControl Plus is the most comprehensive atmosphere control system on the market since it not only controls ethylene but also measures and controls O₂ and CO₂.
  • Superior Kiwifruit Quality: Even after prolonged storage, your kiwifruit will maintain its flavor, texture, and appearance thanks to improved management and reduced dehydration.

 

How It Works

EthyControl Plus adopts a more intelligent strategy than traditional systems, which depend on energy-intensive heating and cooling cycles several times a day:

  1. Ethylene Removal: A specially designed, high-capacity granulate actively captures ethylene from the storage air.

  2. Energy-Efficient Ventilation: The collected ethylene is vented out without the need for temperature manipulation, saving massive amounts of energy.

  3. Granulate Regeneration: The granulate regenerates itself using ambient air, allowing for continuous operation without extra energy costs.

The result? A perfectly controlled storage environment with significantly lower energy use and minimal moisture loss—ideal for preserving the delicate balance needed for kiwifruit storage.

 

Tailored to Your Needs

Whether you're managing a small cold room or a large-scale facility, EthyControl Plus comes in a variety of models tailored to meet the unique demands of your operation.
