Banana Ripening Chambers - Rinac - Thermotech


Engineered to simulate nature's ripening process without altering the taste or Freshness. Thermotech Solutions along with RINAC Pioneered the indigenous, pressurized type Banana Ripening chambers of global standard which is running exceptionally well all over India. With expertise across the full spectrum of fruit Banana ripening chambers, Pre-cooling chambers, cold storage construction & refrigeration system, we provide focused solutions namely conceptualizing, designing, manufacturing and implementation of cold infrastructure requirements to cater to need of diverse industries. RINAC India offers Banana ripening chambers available with Pressurized/Reverse air flow evaporators and Humidity controlled rooms.




Salient Features

  • Air tight chambers with specially designed doors.
  • Extreme turbulent air waves across chamber for quick collection and dissipation of field heat.
  • High humidity coil cooling unit for an excellent performance in humidification.
  • Air path control mechanism for even distribution of chilled air across fruits.
  • Power full refrigeration system for Quick pull down of field heat.
  • Intelligent Temperature control for enhanced shelf life of fruits.
  • Intelligent gas control system for high quality out put fruits.
  • Centralized Refrigeration with multiple compressors for high level of flexibility in operation and energy saving with standby compressor.
  • Less power, connected as well as consumption hence low operating cost.
  • Reduction in weight loss of fruit [5%-8%] by maintaining excellent humidity level across ripening process.
  • Options for Web based monitoring and controlling of Temperature, Humdity, Ethylene and CO2.
  • Fully automatic ventilation and exhaust system & Automatic Ethylene Injection, control and CO2 exhaust system.

 



Principle of ripening and working cycle


The plant is generally operated on 4-6 days ripening cycle. This 4-6 days ripening cycle comprises of;

  • Operation: 14° to 23° C and >90% RH. Pull down time (16-20hrs) to 16° to 18° C
  • Ethylene injection, after 24 hrs at constant room temperature of 18° or 19° C and >90% RH
  • Holding period 16-12 hrs (total 24 hours from start of ethylene injection) temperature held at 18° or 19° C and 90% RH
  • Ventilation after 24 hrs after ethylene injection. Ethylene and CO2 is expelled out and fresh air is injected in cold room. CO2 level not to exceed 5000ppm during ripening process.
  • Holding period for 3-4 days till coloration. Temperature can be reduced gradually to 14° to 16° C for enhancing the shelf life of the Fruit.
  • Air distribution system for uniform ripening of banana in palletized crates with Suitable air bypass sealing system for the crates.




Components of ripening chamber & typical pallet arragements


The Major components of RINAC Ripening chambers are;
  • RPUF Insulated Panels suitable for Ripening chambers.
  • Insulated leak proof Doors designed for Ripening chambers.
  • Refrigeration rack system with energy-efficient components.
  • Specially Designed evaporators to ensure High humidity & Uniform airflow inside the ripening chamber.
  • Humidifiers are provided to maintain high humidity throughout the ripening process.
  • Electrical Control Panel for Refrigeration rack system.
  • Ethylene generators & Ethylene Gas-discharge systems suitable for single & multiple rooms for ripening processes.
  • CO2 and Ethylene analyzers to monitor levels of gas in the room.
  • Timer-based ventilation sysems with dampers & exhaust fans for CO2.

Transport Refrigeration - Thermotech


How Can Refrigerated Trucks Be Useful For Transporting Perishable Freight
Generally the refrigerated trucks are similar to the normal ones because they do not differ in size and the handling is also the same. However, if we go with the name then it is clear that they have a refrigerator at the backside. Driving is also the same and if a person is thinking that these types of truck require special type of license then they are wrong because the normal license is the main requirement. These trucks have refrigeration services therefore the power consumption is more in them and they are loaded with some extra features and powerful batteries. The price and the hiring fee is also bit higher in the case of these trucks. Taking these trucks on rent is also simple as there are many websites that are serving for this purpose and they all just require a valid proof of identity and the fee from the customers.



There are many rental companies that are available and these trucks are the available in many places. Therefore, it is clear that finding a refrigerated truck is quiet normal and the cooling system fitted inside these trucks ensures that the stored goods remain safe and fresh. The carbon dioxide system of cooling is stuffed inside the truck and generally the transporters of fish and people dealing in perishable products use it. Paperwork is the main element of this service but the customers remain free because they just have to sign the agreement. However, with the help of online mode the time consumed in booking and other tasks can be saved and the fee can also be deposited with the help of cards and internet banking. There are insurance options as well and the people can select any package in case if they drive the truck and this will be beneficial

Avail perfect cooling facilities in the truck and drive on any road without thinking about the contamination issues
