Number one ripening room system in North America will be spotlighted at Fruit Logistica for the first time

The Tarpless® ripening room is one of the most widely used in the industry, processing over 100 million pounds of bananas around the world each and every day. Available exclusively from Thermal Technologies, this proven design pampers and protects fruit better than other systems while delivering unsurpassed ripening control.


“Available in configuration to fit every ripening operation, the Tarpless® ripening room increases shelf life and reduces shrink for the fastest return of investment and a proven 10-20% increase in sales and profit. That`s why Thermal Tech rooms can be found in the distribution centers of 9 of the Top 10 grocery retailers, processing over 70% of all bananas ripened across the US, Canada and Mexico, ” – explains company president Jim Lentz. “Global demand for the TarpLess® system is growing fast and Fruit Logistica provides an excellent venue to help us bring this technology to the international community.”


There are Tarpless® ripening rooms for bananas, avocados, pears, stone fruit, even multi-fruit rooms that combine ripening, pre-cooling and low-temp storage. 


“It was a big step when we completed our first installation in Mexico roughly 14 years ago. Today, over the last 18 months alone we’ve had installations in Mexico, Canada, China, Chile and the Netherlands. The ripening rooms we recently installed in China are likely the first pressurized avocado rooms in the entire country. Although completed less than a year ago, the installation has already proven so successful that we anticipate more rooms will be needed within the year,” – says Vice President David Byrne.
