Easy-Ripe® Ethylene Generator

 
 

The Dependable and Easy-to-Use Standard for Ethylene Application in fruit ripening and citrus degreening.

Provides non-pressurized and safe* ethylene levels on a timed and continuous basis for uniform ripening & degreening.

 
  a  
 

Just pour one or two quarts of Ethy-Gen® II into the Easy-Ripe® and ethylene production quickly begins.
Ethylene output is adjustable for multiple room sizes, which means the Easy-Ripe® can adapt to any ethylene PPM requirement and any room size.  For larger rooms, additional units easily achieve proper ethylene levels.
With intelligent microprocessor technology, critical processes of the generator are monitored. Continuous indication of operation status is provided, making it clearly evident of ethylene production.

EASY AND SAFE*
Ethylene is explosive.  Our products, when used as directed, are not capable of producing explosive levels of ethylene in commercial ripening rooms.

COMPLIANCE
The Easy-Ripe® is listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL®) and TÜV Product Service of Germany, meaning that they have found the generator to be safe from any foreseeable risk of fire, electrical shock, and related hazards, when used as directed.

AFFORDABLE
The Easy-Ripe® Generator is available for lease (North America and UK) or purchase (worldwide).

SMART-RIPE®
Adaptable to work with our Smart-Ripe® system or other computerized ripening room control system.

Ethy-Gen® II Ripening Concentrate

 

Ethy-Gen® II is specially formulated by Catalytic Generators and is designed for efficient and clean conversion to ethylene.
It has passed the regulatory requirements of many government agencies, including the US EPA and the UK CRD, and is registered for use on many fruits, vegetables and tobacco.

Ethy-Gen® II consists of all-natural, grain based, GMO-free active ingredient and is permitted for use on some organic fruits, including bananas.
It is available by the case containing 12 - 1 quart bottles (available worldwide) or 8 - ½ gallon bottles (only available in North America)

 

Citrus Ethylene Generator

Reliable and easy to use for Ethylene Application in citrus degreening.

Provides non-pressurized and safe* ethylene levels on a timed and continuous basis for uniform degreening.

Just pour one or two quarts of Ethy-Gen® II into the Citrus Generator and ethylene production quickly begins.
Ethylene output is adjustable for multiple room sizes, which means the Citrus Generator can adapt to any ethylene PPM degreening requirement in rooms typically less than 30,000 ft3 (850 m3) .  For larger rooms, our Easy-Ripe® gives higher output and will easily achieve proper degreening levels.
With intelligent microprocessor technology, critical processes of the generator are monitored. Continuous indication of operation status is provided, making it clearly evident of ethylene production.

 

Tobacco Curing Generator

 


Lowers Curing Costs by Decreasing Yellowing, Wilting and Drying Times
Cuts up to 30 hours off normal yellowing, wilting and drying time of mature leaves, therefore saving electricity and fuel costs. Also gives higher quality, more valuable leaves.

Evens Out Color
Fewer green butts, green fibers and other "off" colors.

Just insert ethylene hose into airflow chamber, then pour one or two quarts of Ethy-Gen® II into the Tobacco Curing Generator and ethylene production quickly begins. The generator is portable and one generator can usually be shared between as many as six curing systems. With intelligent microprocessor technology, critical processes of the generator are monitored. Continuous indication of operation status is provided, making it clearly evident of ethylene production.

COMPLIANCE
The Tobacco Curing Generator is listed by TÜV Product Service of Germany, meaning that they have found the generator to be safe from any foreseeable risk of fire, electrical shock, and related hazards, when used as directed.

PROVEN
University field tests prove that Tobacco Curing Generators speed mature leaf curing and improve tobacco grade while more leaf weight is retained. These systems have been used by our clients for 30 years!

NATURAL PROCESS
Ethy-Gen® II, used in the generator, changes into ethylene, a natural plant hormone that triggers curing changes in mature tobacco leaves.
