Ripening of tropical fruit is becoming increasingly accurate

Perfectly ripened fruit, does that actually exist? "Not yet, but we are pretty close" said Jacco Smid of VDH Products. The ripening of tropical fruit is not easy. Using the latest technology can make the ripening process even more accurate. More often retailers demanding their fruit to be delivered with exactly the right maturity and in exactly the right amounts. "We can be of significance here. With our ripening controllers, specially for suppliers of bananas and other tropical fruits such as mangoes, avocados and papaya, it is possible to complete the whole ripening process according to customer requirements and needs.” Proba 5 ripening controller The latest development of VDH Products is the Proba 5. This ripening controller is recently officially introduced and is already running around fifteen companies in the world. "It is the successor to the Proba 4. This new controller allows a precise process when it comes to regulating parameters such as temperature, gas concentration, humidity, ventilation and air pressure. It offers even more control and is fully reprogrammed" said Jacco. Unlike many other systems, the Proba is not a PLC system where users depend on a specific installer. The Proba controller is an open system, which contains all the knowledge and experience from 4 generations ripeningsystems. We see an increasing demand for open systems, which allowing users to manually make settings and changes without additional costs. More information
