What is atmosphere control?
Fresh fruit keeps living after harvest: it breathes, produces ethylene and changes color and texture. An atmosphere control room manages the air around it (temperature, humidity, ethylene and CO₂) to steer that process in one of three directions. ZGROUP builds all three in containers: no construction, Thermo King refrigeration and real-time monitoring with ZTrack.
Speeds up ripening and makes it even: bananas, avocados, mangoes and other climacteric fruit reach ready-to-eat on the day you need, for retail shelves or industrial processing.
The same controls, used mainly on citrus: the peel turns from green to its natural color without changing the fruit inside.
The opposite effect: lower oxygen and higher CO₂ slow the fruit's respiration to extend the shelf life of stored produce.
