Ethylene Removal and Airborne Pathogen Control for Fresh Produce Storage

Keep fruit, vegetables, berries and herbs fresher for longer by reducing ethylene build-up, mould pressure and airborne contamination in cold rooms and produce storage areas.

Removes ethylene

Utilizes the power of ozone in a completely unique and safe way.

Kills Bacteria & Viruses

Contains a specially designed cell disrupter that kills airborne pathogens.

Prevents Mold & Fungi

Cleans air of mould spores, preventing it from spreading.

Why ethylene and airborne contamination matter in fresh produce storage

Fresh produce continues to respire after harvest. In mixed storage environments, ethylene-sensitive products can ripen faster, soften earlier and become more vulnerable to spoilage. At the same time, mould spores, yeasts, bacteria and airborne contamination can circulate through the cold room, increasing waste and reducing saleable shelf life.

For packhouses, farms, catering operations, distributors and cold storage facilities, the result is simple: more rejects, shorter storage windows and higher financial loss.

What is
Bio Turbo?

Bio Turbo is an advanced air purification system that removes ethylene and airborne pathogens to extend the freshness and shelf life of your produce.

Bio Turbo delivers advanced ethylene and pathogens control using a patented 4-stage technology. It harnesses the power of ozone in a unique, enclosed process, giving you all the benefits without any exposure risks.

Technology Overview

STAGE 1: AIR FILTER

The air filter removes dust and visual particles from the air.

STAGE 2: CELL DISRUPTER

An anti-microbial chemical is applied to the surface of a specially designed disrupter. It works by rupturing the outer membrane of the cells that make up these airborne pathogens. With efficiency rates of 99.5%+, this process stops their normal life development, thus destroying the cells.

STAGE 3: OZONE CHAMBER

This chamber uses the positive effects of ozone to eliminate ethylene gas. The ozone is safely contained within this chamber and not dispersed throughout the storage area.

STAGE 4: BIO CLEAN MODULE

In this final stage, a catalyst is used to change the ozone into clean oxygen. The catalyst creates a reaction that breaks down the ozone molecule. From here the clean oxygen is released back into the environment.

Completely Safe

Ozone is a powerful oxidiser, and high exposure can be harmful to people and equipment. But that’s not a concern with Bio Turbo. It’s the first technology to safely use ozone without releasing it into the environment — the gas is fully contained within the reaction chamber and never escapes the unit.

Security Measures

Safety switches automatically stop ozone generation if any issue is detected in Bio Turbo’s components. This ensures that ozone always remains contained and is never released into the environment.

Low Maintenance

Compared to other technologies, Bio Turbo requires minimal maintenance. Only the air filters need occasional replacement, and the ozone plates once a year. The process is simple and can be done by anyone — no technical expertise needed.

Patented Technology

Bio Turbo technology of employing ozone in a completely new way is unique in its kind and this is confirmed by patent issued by United States Patent and Trademark Office.
