Controlled Atmosphere Technology

The cooling process with CA system is a storage method when a cooling and CA systems are used together in the same chamber. First, the cooling system cools the chamber down to the core target temperature and then CA system gradually decreases the oxygen (O2) level to a minimum, and keeps the carbon dioxide (CO2) to the maximum level which the fruit can withstand and be stored at. Then, the systems maintain the same level of temperature and gases until the storage period is over and the chamber is open. Compared to a usual cold store, in a cold store with CA conditions many products can be stored from 2 to 4 times longer periods without losing much of its original quality. Therefore, the CA store has a huge advantage, because the quality and freshness of fruit and vegetables can be preserved without any use of any chemicals.

OXYCAT is your main partner who will help you find the best solutions: on which CA equipment and brands to choose; on calculating right capacity and required power; on how to use CA with various types of air conditioning. Our team also conducts a reliable evaluation of commercial offers and provides its services in the project design development while you purchase your CA project or reconstruct/ enlarge already existing or second-hand CA system. We seal and prepare the room for CA assembly and further install the system. We also provide user training of CA system and cold rooms working with CA system, after-sales support and maintenance, 24/7 support service with remote control or on-sight service visits.

OXYCAT High Altitude Systems are simulation rooms that can change altitude from sea level to 8000 – 9000 meters in minutes depending on the goal and requirement.
