초록 ▼

A device for controlling the composition inside a shipping/storage container for produce, such as bananas, is disclosed. Such atmospheric control is particularly important when dealing with the ripening of respiring fruit. The device comprises a chamber surrounded by an outer wall, at least a portion of that wall made up of a selectively gas-permeable membrane which is in communication with the outside atmosphere. The chamber also includes at least two channels which are connected to the container: one which transmits gas form the chamber to the container, and one which transmits gas from the container to the chamber.

대표청구항 ▼

1. A device for providing the required composition of gas medium in a container for shipping and storage of produce, said device separate from and located outside said container and consisting essentially of a chamber surrounded by an outer wall, a portion of said outer wall made up of a selectively gas-permeable membrane which is in direct communication with the atmosphere which surrounds both the device and the container for shipping and storage of produce, wherein said membrane controls the identity and ratio of gases passing through it from said atmosphere into the chamber, and the contents of said chamber being at substantially atmospheric pressure, and at least two channels, which are structurally adapted such that they can be removably attached to said container, one of which acts to transmit gases from the chamber to the container, and one of which acts to transmit gases from the container to the chamber. 2. The device, according to claim 1 which includes valves in one or more of said channels to control the extent and/or direction of gas flow. 3. The device according to claim 2 which additionally comprises a sensor-based control system to control the inflow and outflow of gases from the chamber. 4. The device according to claim 1 which includes one or more fans to assist in the gas flow. 5. The device according to claim 1 which includes an additional inlet channel for feeding one or more additional gases into the chamber. 6. The device according to claim 5 wherein the one or more additional gases comprise ethylene. 7. The device according to claim 6 wherein the produce comprises bananas. 8. The device according to claim 7 wherein the membrane is selectively permeable to gases selected from oxygen, carbon dioxide and mixtures thereof. 9. The device according to claim 1 wherein the container for shipping and storage of produce and the device itself comprise a single entity. 10. A container for the shipping and storage of produce which contains produce and is connected to the device according to claim 1, the device being located outside of the container for the shipping and storage of produce, the device not containing any produce, the gas-permeable membrane of said device being in direct contact with the atmosphere which surrounds both the container for shipping and storage of produce and the device, the interior of the container being connected to the interior of said device by said two channels, such that gases flow from the device to the container through one of said channels, and gases flow from the container to the device through the second of said channels. 11. The container according to claim 10 which additionally comprises a sensor-based control system to control the inflow and outflow gases from the chamber, and values in said channels to control the extent and direction of gas flow. 12. The method of providing a defined composition of the gas medium in a container for shipping and storage of produce, utilizing the device according to claim 11, comprising measuring the composition of the gas medium in the container, comparing the measured composition against a defined composition for the gas medium, controlling the flow of gases from the chamber to the container and/or from the container to the chamber, and repeating the measuring, comparing and controlling steps until the measured composition in the container matches the defined composition. 13. A device for shipping and storage of produce in a controlled atmospheric environment consisting essentially of a container for holding said produce; a chamber located outside of and attached to said container, wherein the content of said chamber is at substantially atmospheric pressure and does not hold said produce, a portion of the wall of said chamber made up of a selectively gas-permeable membrane which is in communication with the atmosphere which surrounds both the device and the container for shipping and storage of produce, wherein said membrane controls the identity and ratio of gases passing through it into the chamber; and at least two channels between said container and said chamber; one of which acts to transmit gases for the chamber to the container, and one of which acts to transmit gases from the container to the chamber.
