Controlled Atmosphere Storage (CA) is a particular variant of Cold storage in which the atmosphere in the storage room is controlled to inhibit ripening and/or degradation of the quality of the product. After harvesting many fruits and vegetables can be preserved for an extended time period under Controlled Atmosphere or Ultra Low Oxygen conditions. It is then possible to deliver these products throughout the year while still ensuring that the quality is maintained. With CA/DCA/ULO applications the physiological processes in the stored product are delayed, allowing the extension of its shelf life. The required storage conditions are achieved by controlling Oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) together with the required temperature/humidity level. By storing your product under these conditions you control the ripening process.

Benefit of our panels and system for CA, DCA, ULO and Ripening rooms is that we do not need to use sealing tapes or any kind of mass over the panel joint. For this special kind of application we supply panels with special smooth and sanitary joint.
