Ideal solution both for short

and long term storages

Traditionally, we consumed
fresh fruits right after harvesting

Today the same fruits have to pass

Technology can help keeping the same

level of quality from the tree to the shelve

For most part of the Post Harvest business Fresh

technology is limited to one and only Term:

Ethylene gas and airborne pathogens

can cause damage to stored fruits and vegetables

How to eliminate
ethylene and airborne pathogen?

Open the door and exchange the air

- Energy cost;
- Product temperature fluctuation;
- When door finally closes the ethylene
is still there;

- Extra load on refrigeration.

Potassium Permanganate

More ethylene needs more pellets

Efficiency is reduced day by day

Replacing the pellets often enough to keep

high ethylene removal efficiency can be really
expensive in the long run...

High humidity level makes pellets

less effective

No effect on airborne pathogen

Ozonating storage

Eliminates both ethylene

and airborne pathogen

Easy to produce

Steady efficiency no matter

of the stored products

Oxygen is free

Too much
is toxic for humans

Too little
is not effective

How to utilize
the sanitizing power of Ozone
without any risks

Bio Turbo
The most advanced ethylene gas removal and airborne pathogen
killing system available on the market.

The BT model number represents the number of cubic

meters each unit can process within 24 hours.

Technology overview
Bio Turbo units use a patented 4-stage purification process
to achieve highest results in reducing ethylene and airborne bacteria:
Stage 1
Air Filter
Removes dust and
other particles
from incoming

Stage 3
Ozone Chamber
Ozone destroys
ethylene and
bacteria

Stage 2
Cell Disrupter
Cell membranes
are destroyed

Stage 4
Bio Clean
Module
Ozone turns back
into Oxygen

Technology overview

Effective results

Eliminates 99,5 % of pathogens

Bio Turbo effectively removes 99.5%+ of airborne
pathogen from storage area, preventing bacterial
contamination, mold growth and unpleasant odors.

Effective results

Removes ethylene
Bio Turbo eliminates ethylene gas successfully
preventing premature ripening and decay.
