The technology behind RipeLocker chambers
RipeLocker chambers offer a patented system to manage the atmospheric pressure, and gas composition (oxygen and CO2) within its chambers to extend the life of fresh produce, flowers, and tree nuts. Based on the specific needs of each type of perishable, RipeLocker tailors operating parameters, such as internal pressure, oxygen, and CO2 levels, to optimize longevity and freshness. The system continuously reports operating data, enabling real-time decision-making to senescence and decay.
"We designed our pallet-sized chambers to be easily deployed and used in existing cold chains. Produced using novel materials and highly scalable manufacturing processes, the RipeLocker chamber is the first solution that can be delivered cost-effectively in mass volume," the RipeLocker team states. RipeLocker has patents on both chamber design and method of operation.
