Catalytic Generators often hears ripeners across the industry describe the limited space available within some ripening rooms. To solve this issue, the company has specifically engineered a compact ethylene application system, the Auto Ripe Generator.Auto-Ripe

Auto Ripe Generator provide a narrow ethylene application solution for ripening rooms worldwide. Reliable, effective, and easy to use, the Auto Ripe Generator can hold enough Ethy-Gen II Ripening Concentrate to perform up to four ripening cycles in a one or two load ripening room.

This generator has the ability to be wall-mounted and works with computerized ripening room control systems, as well. The minimum room size for an Auto Ripe Generator is 2,000 cubic feet. Reservoirs of the Auto Ripe Generator are capable of storing four quarts (about four liters) with conversion rate settings as followed:

  • One quart of Ethy-Gen II every 48 hours; 2,000 to 2,499 cubic feet
  • One quart of Ethy-Gen II every 36 hours; 2,499 to 4,999 cubic feet
  • One quart of Ethy-Gen II every 24 hours; 5,000 to 7,499 cubic feet
  • One quart of Ethy-Gen II every 12 hours; 7,500 to 12,000 cubic feet

It may be possible to use just one generator for a room that is larger than 12,000 cubic feet — it depends upon how tight the room is.

How it Works:

  • Just pour one to four quarts of Ethy-Gen II and ethylene production quickly begins.
  • Provides non-pressurized and safe ethylene on a continuous basis for uniform ripening & degreening.
  • Ethylene output is adjustable for multiple room sizes, which means the Auto-Ripe can adapt to any ethylene PPM requirements. For larger rooms, additional units easily achieve proper ethylene levels.

The Auto Ripe Generator provides safe ethylene application to a variety of fruits, including bananas, apples, pears and mangos. When following the simple operating directions, this device makes fruit ripening and degreening possible without the risk of explosion. From this, you can run the device without safety concerns for your fresh produce.
