In 1973, Catalytic Generators invented a system that creates ethylene in ripening rooms. Today their products are used worldwide to ripen fruit. Catalytic Generators will be showcasing their ethylene generators and Ethy-Gen® II Ripening Concentrate at the Produce Marketing Association Fresh Summit Convention & Expo at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida October 18-20th at Booth 2335.
According to the company, the ethylene application systems allows fruit companies to make and control the amount of ethylene produced in ripening rooms. Catalytic Generators offers several types of ethylene generators designed for fruit ripening and degreening as well as generators made specifically for curing tobacco.
The company's flagship generator is the Easy Ripe® Ethylene Generator. Catalytic Generators said it is portable, efficient, and easy to use. It works by placing it in the ripening room, plugging into a properly grounded electrical outlet, selecting a conversion rate, and pouring in Ethy-Gen® II Ripening Concentrate. A green light indicates the operation status of the generator while ethylene is provided on a continuous basis. Ethylene output can be adjusted for multiple size rooms. Catalytic Generators said it developed the Easy Ripe® to work with a computerized ripening room control system and have wall-mounting options.
Greg Akins has the Easy Ripe® Ethylene Generator on display at a prior PMA Fresh Summit show.
The Ethy-Gen® II Ripening Concentrate used in Catalytic Generator’s ethylene generators has a hermetic, leak-proof, and tamper-evident seal to indicate that the contents haven’t been tampered with and that the original purity remains unchanged. The company has invested in a lot coding process, as well, which places an identifying code on each bottle. Should a customer be involved in a recall of a ripened fruit product, Catalytic Generators said it could rapidly trace a complete history of the Ethy-Gen® II used to ripen the fruit, from manufacture date to bottle date.
Catalytic Generators will have the Easy Ripe® Ethylene Generator, Ethy-Gen® II Ripening Concentrate, and additional ripening solutions at their booth at PMA Orlando. Greg Akins, President & CEO of Catalytic Generators, shared, “For over 30 years we’ve exhibited at PMA and continue to do so, for we get to connect with so many customers. It’s a valuable part of our global business and we’re excited to show how we make fruit ripe.”
