Keep produce fresher for longer with ozone

Preserve fresh-produce quality with the right technology

Keeping fruits and vegetables at the right temperature is essential, but refrigeration alone often isn’t enough to protect produce from quality decline. For growers and distributors, ensuring that your cold-storage operations do more than simply slow down decay is crucial.

Prevent premature ripening

One of the most common threats to the commercial value of fresh produce is premature ripening — when produce softens too early, changes colour, and becomes unmarketable. The root cause for many produce items like apples, tomatoes or avocados is the presence of ethylene gas, a natural ripening trigger. By removing ethylene from the environment inside cold rooms, you dramatically reduce the risk of early ripening and extend shelf life.

Keep air clean from moulds and bacteria

Another major threat for stored produce is microbial contamination — mould spores and bacteria floating around in the air waiting for the right conditions to proliferate. To stay ahead of this, you need more than surface cleaning: you need air-treatment that neutralises pathogens in the chamber itself. Our technology uses a “cell-destruct” filter that pierces the cell walls of moulds, bacteria and viruses in the air, so that you’re tackling the threat before it becomes visible.

Superior design, worldwide installations

Our system combines the power of ozone (a known sanitising technology) with a unique delivery and filtration approach tailored specifically for cold-storage environments. With installations around the world, you join a growing group of operators who have added this step to their cold-chain to protect produce quality — longer firmness in apples, fewer losses in grapes, less breakage, and better overall shelf life.

Why this matters for growers & distributors

  • Extending shelf life means less waste, higher margins and more reliable supply.
  • Maintaining firm texture and appearance helps preserve consumer appeal and brand value.
  • Controlling airborne pathogens protects produce from spoilage and may reduce dependence on chemical treatments.
  • For operations sending produce through long supply-chains, every extra day of quality counts.

The Bio Turbo solution

ozone storage fruit

Bio Turbo systems from OxyTrading UK use ozone and advanced filtration to purify cold-room air, safely removing both ethylene gas and airborne pathogens. The result is cleaner air, fresher produce, and fewer rejects.

Key benefits

  • Extend Shelf Life — Maintain firmness, freshness, and colour for longer periods.
  • Prevent Premature Ripening — Neutralise ethylene before it affects your produce.
  • Eliminate Airborne Moulds & Bacteria — Disinfect storage air without chemicals.
  • Reduce Waste & Boost Profitability — Protect more of what you grow and sell.
  • Safe & Sustainable — Ozone naturally converts back to oxygen after use.
