Easy-Ripe® Ethylene Generator

Designed for with safety and efficiency in mind, the Easy-Ripe® produces consistent ethylene levels for uniform ripening

Inject ethylene into the room from outside

Our normal Easy-Ripe® is designed for use inside of a ripening room. For installation outside of a room and Injecting ethylene into it, we also have two Easy-Ripe® XT Models. Contact Us for details.

Easy-Ripe® Details…

  • It’s Easy!! For full operating instructions, go here.

    Place generator in a convenient location inside ripening/degreening/storage room

    With power off and generator disconnected from electrical outlet, open reservoir cover, pour in up to 2 litres of Ethy-Gen® II Ripening Concentrate, and close cover

    Plug generator into a properly grounded mains electrical outlet of correct voltage.

    Select an Ethy-Gen® II to ethylene conversion setting, using the rotator switch located on front panel

    Turn generator ON when ready to use. Ethylene production begins in just a few minutes!

    Follow proven ripening/degreening/storage procedures, with generator on and Ethy-Gen® II in reservoir.

    Turn generator OFF when ethylene application is complete.

  • Produces consistent, non-pressurized and safe ethylene levels for uniform ripening & degreening

    No mixture with inert gas is needed as our system is inherently safe

    Easy to make only as much ethylene as needed for the target room, no need to store large quantities of compressed gas on site

    Each bottle of Ethy-Gen® II produces enough ethylene to ripen several loads of fruit

    There are no residues as a result of our ethylene application

    Adjustable ethylene output allows for adaptation to any ethylene PPM requirement and any room size

  • 230 VAC/0.66 AMP/160 W/50-60 Hz with power plug type AS/NZS 3112 (Other types & voltages available upon request)

  • Adjustable Conversion Rate: the amount Ethy-Gen® II that converts to ethylene is a user-selectable rate and varies from 0.5 to 2 litres per 24 hours (additional and custom rates available).

    Tank Volume: Holds 2.0 Litres

    Ethylene Output: Approximately 0.386 m3 of ethylene will result from the conversion of one litre of Ethy-Gen® II in a minimum period of 12 hours.

  • Monitoring of ethylene conversion with highly visible light indication showing the operation status of the unit; a green light makes it clearly evident of ethylene production, or a red light will provide an alert in the rare occurrence of a malfunction.

  • Place generator inside ripening/degreening/storage room, a minimum of 0.3 metres away from and not directly above mains electrical outlet, in a convenient and protected area free from traffic of pallet jacks and lifts.

    Also available:
    - Optional wall-mount system
    - Outside of Room (Easy-Ripe® XT Model, as shown above)

    Location in room is wherever convenient and protected from traffic of pallet jacks and lifts.

  • Our generators can be used for fruit ripening in rooms that have a minimum cubic dimension of 45 cubic metres.

    On the maximum side, the general rule is 285 cubic metres. The actual dimensions depends on several factors, including desired ethylene level and room “tightness” (how well-sealed the room is to prevent air loss).

    For rooms larger than this, additional generators can be used, if needed, to achieve the proper ethylene level. It may be possible to use just one generator for a room that is larger than 285 m3; again, dependent upon how tight the room is. We have some customers that are able to use just one generator in rooms that are 570 m3 and still achieve 150 ppm of ethylene.

    Remember, ethylene is explosive at 27,000 ppm; always use our generators in ripening rooms that are 45 m3 or larger. When using our equipment as directed, explosive levels of ethylene in ripening rooms are not possible.
