Controlled Atmosphere
Storage Systems
Extend shelf life by controlling oxygen, CO2, and humidity levels
Get Expert ConsultationThe Science of Extended Freshness
Controlled atmosphere storage extends the post-harvest lifespan of fruits and vegetables far beyond traditional cold storage. By precisely managing temperature, humidity, oxygen, and carbon dioxide levels, we slow down the natural ripening process while preventing spoilage.
In CA storage, oxygen levels are reduced to 1-5% (compared to 21% in normal air), and CO2 is carefully controlled. This dramatically slows respiration, inhibits pathogen growth, and extends storage life by 0.5 to 1 times longer than conventional cold storage.
After removal from CA storage, produce maintains a "lag effect" - staying fresh for 21 to 28 days, which is 3 to 4 times longer than products from ordinary cold storage.
Why Choose Our CA Systems?
Precision atmospheric control for maximum preservation
Precise Gas Control
Automated O2, CO2, and nitrogen management maintains the perfect atmospheric balance for each produce type.
Extended Shelf Life
Store produce for months instead of weeks. Apples, pears, and kiwis can be preserved for up to 12 months.
Quality Retention
Maintain texture, color, flavor, and nutritional value. Produce emerges as fresh as the day it was stored.
Disease Prevention
Low oxygen inhibits pathogen breeding, preventing storage diseases naturally without chemicals.
Energy Efficient
Optimized systems with variable speed compressors and heat recovery reduce operating costs significantly.
Smart Monitoring
PLC/SCADA systems provide real-time monitoring, alerts, and remote control for complete operational oversight.
CA Storage Applications
