 Growers and packers spend a great deal of time and money to ensure the safety and quality of fresh produce shipped around the world. Despite their efforts, a good degree of control is lost once the product moves down the supply chain into refrigerated shipping containers. With the increase of global trade, time to market is becoming longer and more complex, and as much as 30 percent of fresh produce is damaged in transit as a result of microbial decay.
 Purfresh’s transport solution reduces decay and controls ripening of fresh produce while enhancing food safety and product quality during transport. The patented, science-based solution from Purfresh generates ozone from oxygen in the air and enhances the container atmosphere with defined, low-dose, specific concentrations of gaseous ozone, for use as a powerful but safe disinfectant. Purfresh Transport™ kills airborne and surface microorganisms, shuts down the sporulation process, and consumes ethylene. After oxidizing microorganisms, ozone immediately reverts to pure oxygen, leaving no residue and maintaining taste, texture, and smell characteristics in the product’s natural state. Equipped with Purfresh, growers, packers, shippers, and retailers all experience a reduction in product loss and higher quality produce.
Purfresh Transport units are easy to install, operate, and maintain. The unit simply mounts into the existing evaporator fan access panel and can be operational in as little as 15 minutes. Much simpler than traditional CA/MA shipments, Purfresh Transport does not require airtight environments or curtains, nor does it take up cargo space inside the container. Based on scientifically developed, commodity-specific recipes, Purfresh’s solution produces and maintains specific low-doses of ozone that are proven effective without damaging fruits and vegetables. Ozone concentration levels are monitored and controlled via wireless, site-level communications and remote global communications.
Purfresh Transport provides complete environmental monitoring, including temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and ozone, as well as the location of the container via GPS tracking. Multi-modal communication through satellite, local wireless, and serial provides customers with transparency, even while containers are on the ocean. Purfresh’s Intellipur™ Command Center collects information and provides web-based access to information and reports
