Managing Director of BG Door International Jan van Kessel questioned. The rising demand of ripened avocados, kiwis, mangos and papayas pushed new business developments within the ripening room expert. In close collaboration with ripening specialists they have created an optimized version of their Flex Door. Next to being in control of the ripening process of bananas, BG Door International is now in control of the ripening process of avocados, kiwis, mangos and papayas. Flex Door 3.0The new generation Flex Door which BG Door International is introducing has some significant advantages. The big difference compared to the previous version is the various temperature adaption. By making use of new technology, the temperature in the ripening rooms can be altered between high and low, without creating condensation. Leon Hooghart, Technical Director at BG Door International, explains: Compared to bananas, tropical fruits need both higher and lower temperatures and bigger differences in temperature in order to store and ripen optimally. Hence a higher level of thermal insulation was required of our Flex Doors. Instead of one single tarp, the optimized Flex Door is equipped with two tarps with a stationary layer of air as insulation. Further details on the Flex door:- Optimum gas tightness by special track system- Air space insulation- Suitable for limited isle space- In many standard colours available. Innovating for optimum results in fruit cooling and ripeningThe new generation Flex Door did not come as a surprise. With some technical adjustments and new features their current Flex Door was made suitable for ripening of tropical fruits. This allowed BG Door International to broaden their range of gastight doors, strengthening their leading position in gastight doors for ripening. Whether it is technical improvements or new market entries, we are always looking for ways to innovate and keeping track of changes in the market. Flexibility and innovation are key ingredients for business success says Van Kessel. Last year they introduced the Mobile Precool Unit an energy efficient solution to rapidly cool down soft fruit and vegetables. And many of these units found their way to companies drying ginger. With their innovative spirit they hold true to their cause: making sure youre always in control of your ripening.
