CFT Cargofresh GmbH & Co KG

Due to the increasing global demand for food in the fruit and vegetable sector, there is a demand for innovative new transportation and storage options that are adapted to customer requirements. Rising fuel prices, CO2 pollution from air transportation and new environmentally conscious business concepts call for an efficient solution that is inexpensive and has a good environmental footprint. Our controlled atmosphere process, abbr. CA for Controlled Atmosphere, bridges the gap between improved transportation costs and optimal storage of fruit and vegetables, which also has a positive impact on the quality of the goods.

Controlled Atmosphere - fresh to every destination When transporting fresh fruit and vegetables, the ripening process of the fruit is greatly slowed down by slowed down considerably by a reduction in oxygen. With "Controlled Atmosphere" (CA), a certain ratio of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and air humidity is maintained in the cargo, carbon dioxide and humidity in the transportation space. This nitrogen atmosphere This nitrogen atmosphere ensures that fruit and vegetables are put into a kind of "deep sleep" and thus remain and thus maintain their freshness and quality even during long-distance transportation. There successful tests have already been carried out with a transit time of over 45 days (e.g. with mangoes from Brazil to Japan).
