Advanced Ripening Technologies (ART) specialise in the design, development and installation of pressurized banana, and other tropical fruit ripening systems. ART has also developed its ripening technology to be used on other fruits, such as the pear. Their ripening rooms are designed to provide lower running costs whilst increasing product shelf life and maintaining consistent product colour.Each system is designed and constructed based on client specific requirements and products they wish to use in the rooms. Various levels and complexity of control systems are available either stand alone or web based with the control/monitoring of the following:
o Air Temperature
o Product Temperature
o Ethylene Gas Control
o Ventilation System
o C02 control
o Humidity Control
All or any of the above can be included based on each clients requirements.
Many countries still use conventional cold stores for ripening fruit, ART provide a pressurized chamber that ensures uniform air flow providing a consistent temperature throughout the room and product. The increasingly popular “Flexible Random Access” rooms are being utilised more and more in the UK with users being able to load/unload any pallet at any time.
ART currently operate extensively in the UK, Ireland and North America and have installed facilities in Eastern Asia.
Dave Rodden from ART said, "we are actively setting up with agents in India and would welcome interest from potential agents in Australasia and throughout the Middle East".
"People choose our systems for a number of different reasons. Firstly for affordability complemented by our tailored designs with turnkey solutions, we supply planned maintenance and last but not least people choose our systems for their reliability.
ART offer variable levels of supply: Design and planning, turnkey solutions, commissioning, consultancy as well as the supply of equipment and transport and planned maintenance.
