CARRIER TRANSICOLD ENHANCES EVERFRESH ACTIVE CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE SYSTEM
The latest EverFRESH software release can help shippers transport a wider range of perishable goods, including high-value produce such as kiwis and plums, to farther and new locations.
Carrier Transicold’s EverFRESH® active controlled atmosphere (CA) system for refrigerated containers now offers an expanded range of oxygen (O2) setpoints for all EverFRESH options.
The EverFRESH system reduces respiration and slows the natural ripening of commodities by optimizing O2 and carbon dioxide (CO2) balance. EverFRESH can now transport perishables at O2 setpoints of 1% to 17%, an improvement from the previous setpoints of 2% to 17%. Also, the system now features as low as 0.2% setpoint increments to provide customers greater control over their perishables.
Using active CA technology, the EverFRESH system:
- Allows shippers to independently set O2 and CO2 levels without these setpoints being affected by respiration and leakage rates – giving them greater control over their cargo
- Generates nitrogen via a high flow rate generator to more quickly and responsively displace O2, rather than relying on cargo respiration alone to gradually reduce O2
- Maintains positive air pressure within the container, making it far less sensitive to box leakage than other types of systems.
