Carrier Transicold’s XtendFRESH container atmosphere control system helps maintain the quality of shipped produce, while extending shipping distances. The system controls oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and removes ethylene, a hormone given off by ripening produce that will accelerate ripening if left unchecked. O2 and CO2 levels can be independently set at levels that produce optimum results for a given commodity. By helping prevent premature ripening, the system can help ensure less spoilage per shipment.
