Thermal Technologies : Digital feedback from the fruit enables to fine-tune the ripening process like never before
There’s been a lot of incremental changes in the 25 years since Thermal Technologies patented the TarpLess ripening room. The company developed the first multi-tier rooms, then the first 3tier, two-truckload and after the first dual and multiple temperature contral zones. TarpLess SX represents the apex of all Thermal Technologies has learned and achieved over the last 25 years, which is why they refer to it as their next generation TarpLess system.
TarpLess SX offers all the proven benefits of the TarpLess ripening room, fully integrated with today’s most advanced systems and features including the exclusive Fruit-centric Ripening™ technology.
Fruit-Centric Ripening is the exclusive control technology that streamlines data directly from the fruit to the system’s intelligent SX control system. Using this data, the system produces and maintains the perfect balance of temperature, humidity and airflow to keep pulp temperatures uniform while optimizing efficiency throughout every step of the ripening process.
Combined with the superior humidification system, it delivers high quality, beautifully ripened fruit that looks better, lasts longer and weighs more with the same guaranteed uniformity and unparalleled profit that has made the TarpLess ripening room the number one choice in the industry for over 25 years. Digital feedback from the fruit enables to fine-tune the ripening process like never before while improving control and flexibility, particularly in rooms with multiple temperature control zones. Other systems tend to operate more on supply and return air temps, which don’t offer the same level of control.
Staying focused on the fruit has also helped Thermal Technologies to avoid the common pitfalls of over-engineering which we often see in other systems. This has helped them keep the TarpLess ripening room design as simple and straight forward as possible, which is why most of the 3000+ rooms they’ve installed over the last 25 years are still in operation today.
Over 70% of all bananas ripened in North America are currently processed in TarpLess ripening rooms. Thermal Technologies work with all the major growers along with 18 of the Top 20 grocery retailers in North America.
