Reefer Vehicle / Ripening Chambers

Maintaining the quality of perishable produce requires reliable cold chain systems. Reefer vehicles (refrigerated trucks) and ripening chambers are crucial post-harvest infrastructure that ensure safe transportation and scientifically controlled fruit ripening. These technologies reduce spoilage, improve marketability, and support export-readiness of fresh produce.

Reefer Vehicles

Reefer vehicles are insulated and refrigerated transport units designed for temperature-sensitive goods like fruits, vegetables, dairy, seafood, and meat.

Key Features:

• Temperature range: –25°C to +25°C

• Insulated cargo chambers with PUF panels

• Digital control panels for consistent temperature

• Suitable for local and long-distance logistics

• Available in various capacities: mini vans to 32-feet containers

Benefits:

• Reduces post-harvest losses

• Maintains freshness, texture, and shelf life

• Enables direct supply to urban retail chains and exports

Ripening Chambers

Ripening chambers are scientific alternatives to harmful methods like calcium carbide use. These chambers replicate natural ripening using controlled ethylene application.

Specifications:

• Capacities: 5 to 10 MT and modular designs

• Ethylene dosing system with air circulation

• Temperature: 15–24°C

• Humidity: 85–95%

• Automated sensors for real-time monitoring

Suitable Fruits:

• Mango

• Banana

• Papaya

• Avocado

• Tomato

Benefits:

• Uniform ripening and improved fruit quality

• Faster turnaround and batch-wise ripening

• Compliance with FSSAI and export norms
