Purfresh Technology






How It Works

Based on patent-pending technology, Purfresh® Transport is an active cargo protection system that uses an active form of oxygen—commonly referred to as ozone—to kill molds, yeasts, and bacteria in the air and on surfaces by up to 99%, as well as to consume and regulate ethylene levels. After doing its work, the ozone immediately reverts to pure oxygen, leaving the product’s taste, texture, and smell characteristics in their natural state.




To optimize freshness and manage the container’s atmosphere during the entire trip, Purfresh Transport intelligently reacts and adjusts to changes in the organic load of the cargo (such as microbes, VOCs, and ethylene levels) and changes in the environmental conditions (such as temperature).




Certified organic and approved by the USDA and FDA, Purfresh Transport delivers what no other solution can—a chemical-free approach to extending shelf life, minimizing waste, and maintaining the quality of fresh produce during long-range transport.






Equipment

Purfresh® Transport units are easy to install, operate, and maintain. The unit simply mounts into the existing evaporator fan access panel and can be operational in as little as 15 minutes.
Much simpler than traditional CA/MA shipments, Purfresh Transport does not require airtight environments or curtains, nor does it take up cargo space inside the container.
In addition, Load Protection Monitoring™ (LPM™)—an optional feature of Purfresh Transport—provides complete environmental monitoring, including temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and ozone, as well as the location of the container via GPS tracking. With this level of en route visibility, LPM can help you avoid catastrophic loss by being able to quickly identify problems (such as closed vents) and take the appropriate action before it’s too late to save the load.








Monitoring and Tracking

A next-generation informatics service, Intellipur® from Purfresh provides unparalleled visibility into, and control over, refrigerated marine container atmospheres, as well as global location tracking. Designed to enhance the value of Purfresh® Transport, the Intellipur information service provides real-time visibility into atmospheric conditions inside the reefer, location data, and exception alerts, as well as detailed trip reports.
