Controlled Atmosphere

Controlled Atmosphere

Controlled atmosphere is a specialized cooling technique in which the gas composition within a cooling chamber or container is adjusted in a specific manner. Through this technique, physical parameters such as temperature, humidity, and air circulation are regulated and controlled. This method is applied to the transportation of produce like fruits and vegetables, typically characterized by a low-oxygen (O2) and high-carbon dioxide (CO2) atmosphere. In this way, the composition of the air is precisely adapted to the requirements of the packaged product and remains stable during transportation. At RFL, as specialists in the cold chain and refrigerated transport, we carefully assess the requirements of each process to meet the needs of every load and client. When transporting perishable goods, it is crucial to consider such factors to ensure successful delivery at the journey’s end.
