PROBLEM:

We often contact companies in the fruit and vegetable industry, as we know that we can make a huge difference regarding the company’s challenges with mould and ethylene. Many companies budget for extra waste, cleaning and working hours because the challenges are so well known that they are experienced as “part of everyday life”. They also know that there can be seasonal fluctuations in mould and dust particles in the air, so they must do extra cleaning during those periods.
Of course, we are aware that wholesale warehouses and fruit & vegetable storage facilities are not identical. Some have only cold rooms, others have both dry goods and cold rooms, and others have many different types of fruit in the same storage facility. The facilities are also physically very different. There can be massive differences between clean and unclean zones, the number of open and closed internal and external doors, and whether they have associated waste rooms. However, the issues are still similar and can be narrowed down to:

• Are there particles in the air?
• Is there mould in the air, or both?
• Is there ethylene in the air?

SOLUTION:

Our preliminary study, which we carry out free of charge, often shows that air is the challenge, and it is easily improved with, for example, ionisation. Ionisation cleans the air without chemicals and is easy to install in existing systems, and it cleans the air 24/7. Once FHS Scandinavia has completed a preliminary study, such as air sampling and particle measurements, we can suggest a specific solution.
FHS Scandinavia, together with our supplier, www.airgenic.com, has built up extensive experience in installing systems in Fruit and Vegetable storage facilities. We have also installed equipment at carrot and onion producers, for example.
