Necessary items for the CA system successful functioning.

In order for your store with the CA system to meet world standards and bring you effective results, it is necessary that the store and all the equipment in it comply with the following standards:

- First of all, the plan for the room loading and cooling must have sufficient capacity and structure to ensure homogeneous cooling of not only the room itself, but also every fruit at every point in the room;

- Gas tightness protocols;

- CA equipment: correctly selected model, power, oxygen and carbon dioxide scrubbers;

- Reliable industrial automation system for CA;

- Temperature sensors, external gas analyzers that enable hand-held gas measurement, external ventilation devices, special CA accessories, etc.

Unfortunately, in projects where these elements are not properly combined, it is difficult to achieve successful results.

On this stage it is very important that the cooling can be done following the right principles and that the work done is measurable and measured.

 

If all of the above standards are met, then the CA system can bring many additional benefits:

1. Products stored with the CA system can be stored for a longer time than the products in conventional cooling stores, while their qualities are almost completely preserved;
2. Prevent food loss due to rot, fungus, mold, etc. brought from the garden;
3. Prevention of moisture loss due to slow fruit respiration;
4. Since the products stored with the CA system can be stored longer, while maintaining their quality, a price advantage can be achieved when selling products;
5. A significant advantage in the presence of problems with logistics. By extending the shelf life of goods waiting to be sold in warehouses, it is possible to provide some flexibility in logistics when there are issues such as political or military issues that may affect international logistics.

As a result, controlled atmosphere systems provide many additional benefits for cold storage and quality control.
