General microbiological challenges in fruit and vegetable storage facilities<\/h3>\n
The biggest challenges in fruit and vegetable storage facilities are ethylene, mould and dust particles. To ensure that the fresh products do not become waste before they are eaten, the conditions in the storage facilities are a crucial focus point for the companies. Today, fruit and vegetable storage facilities do a lot to reduce their waste, and many chemicals are used to neutralise ethylene, which is naturally stored in the air. Furthermore, the storage facilities also use extra resources for cleaning to avoid mould and dust. However, few people are aware that the air can be kept clean simply and cheaply by using ionisation – an air purification technique inspired by how ions keep the air clean in nature.
\nIonisation can also be used in the lorry\u2019s storage space when fruit and vegetables are transported on the last stretch to shops\/consumers.<\/div>\n<\/div>

PROBLEM:<\/h3>\n
\n

In Norway, several COOP storage facilities have ionisation in their fruit and vegetable departments. \u00a0It has typically been installed after a storage facility discovers mould on the walls or finds extra mould on their fruit and vegetables, increasing waste. An attempt can be made to try and reduce the increased mould growth by increased cleaning, but since the mould is found in the air, it is difficult to eliminate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

SOLUTION:<\/h3>\n
Example: COOP Bergen contacted FHS Scandinavia, as COOP and FHS have excellent experiences of solving mould problems in cold rooms with ionisation in existing air circulation systems at other Coop storage facilities. Therefore, an Air4000 was installed in their refrigeration system, and the actual size of the ionisation system was customised to the amount of air that is recirculated in the large storage room.<\/div>\n<\/div>

RESULT:<\/h3>\n
\n

Mould, ethylene and dust have been eliminated to such an extent that the recycled air in the fruit and vegetable storage facility no longer provides a breeding ground for microbiology in the air. This is shown by the fact that there is a longer time between the cleaning intervals, there is less wastage, and the indoor climate for warehouse employees is better. However, the amount of waste is slightly seasonal, but in general, the amount of discarded fruit and vegetables will be noticeably less with ionisation. The system paid for itself in a short time, and that was by only including saved cleaning. Reduced waste and better indoor climate were additional benefits.
\nThat ionisation had a noticeable positive effect on the indoor climate meant that COOP subsequently installed ionisation in their existing ventilation system in the administration and office, customised and installed by FHS Scandinavia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
