Our Tarp Ripening Systems
In some ripening requirements, the "tarp tunnel" design is still effective, and very cost-effective. If pallet heights can vary, or if the pallet has an ‘air chimney’ in the middle of the pallet, tarp ripening can be considered. This process is also recommended for ripening in plastic crates (RPCs) or bins.
We also offer a "Ripening Room Kit" in knock-down (KD) form.
The balance between the cooling coil airflow and suction fan airflow is the key to make the design work properly. Otherwise, the fruit closest to the fans have the most and coldest air and fruit furthest away get the least and warmest air in the ripening room.
The tarp is also wide enough to cover most of the top of the pallets, and the center suction tunnel has certain design requirements for the best fruit ripening system. |
