Ideal solution both for short

and long term storages

Traditionally, we consumed

fresh fruits right after harvesting

Today the same fruits have to passa distribution network

Technology can help keeping the same

level of quality from the tree to the shelve

For most part of the Post Harvest business — Fresh

technology is limited to one and only Term:

Ethylene gas and airborne pathogens

can cause damage to stored fruits and vegetables

How to eliminate

ethylene and airborne pathogen?

Open the door and exchange the air

- Energy cost;

- Product temperature fluctuation;

- When door finally closes the ethylene

is still there;

- Extra load on refrigeration.

Potassium Permanganate

More ethylene needs more pellets

Efficiency is reduced day by day

Replacing the pellets often enough to keep

high ethylene removal efficiency can be really

expensive in the long run...

High humidity level makes pellets

less effective

No effect on airborne pathogenNo effect on airborne pathogen

Ozonating storage

Eliminates both ethylene

and airborne pathogen

Easy to produce

Steady efficiency no matter

of the stored products

Oxygen is free

Too much

is toxic for humans

Too little

is not effective

How to utilise

the sanitising power of Ozone

without any risks

Bio Turbo

The most advanced ethylene gas removal and airborne pathogen

killing system available on the market.

The BT model number represents the number of cubic

meters each unit can process within 24 hours.

Technology overview

Bio Turbo units use a patented 4-stage purification process

to achieve highest results in reducing ethylene and airborne bacteria:

Stage 2

Cell Disrupter

Cell membranes

are destroyed

Stage 1

Air Filter

Removes dust and

other particles

from incoming

Stage 3

Ozone Chamber

Ozone destroys

ethylene and

bacteria

Stage 4

Bio Clean

Module

Ozone turns back

into Oxygen

Technology overview

Effective results

Eliminates 99,5 % of pathogens

Bio Turbo effectively removes 99.5%+ of airborne

pathogen from storage area, preventing bacterial

contamination, mold growth and unpleasant odors.

Effective results

Removes ethylene

Bio Turbo eliminates ethylene gas successfully

preventing premature ripening and decay.

Lab test results

The Miatech, Bio Turbo system eliminated all ethylene levels,

5, 10 and 20 ppb within 60 seconds.
