Since 1998, we've installed these systems the US, Canada and Mexico. Give us a call and we can discuss how easy it is to make your ripening operation more efficient, safer and easier to manage with the CRS.

CRS - Centralized Ripening System® Features:

• Extra Large supply of Ethy-Gen® II Ripening Concentrate is directly and continuously fed to a number of CRS Generators.
• Using Ethy-Gen® II Ripening Concentrate allows for inspection of the product received and easy checking of inventory; no weighing or guesswork about ethylene supply.....makes it nearly impossible to run out of ethylene. Reduced handling and labor: no filling of generators and less changing of containers, thanks to a large supply of concentrate.
• All installation done by trained and knowledgeable staff of Catalytic Generators, Inc.; quick.....usually completed in one day. Includes matching ethylene production with customer needs through in-room analysis.
• The CRS is installed with a Control Station that has these features:
  • Leak Detection:
    A high quality, electronic and state-of-the-art flow detection device is sensitive to changes in the flow of Ethy-Gen® II Ripening Concentrate in the return line of the CRS.
  • Safety:
    In the event of a leak, the Control Station will shut off the CRS pump and stop the flow of Ethy-Gen® II and turn on a bright red indicator light. Other options are available for employee notification, such as an audible alarm or phone dialer.
  • Convenience:
    The Control Station provides for an easy way to turn the CRS pump on/off. Also, should the supply of Ethy-Gen® II run out, the flow detector will sense this and shut the pump off, illuminating the indicator light. This will notify personnel of the need to change Ethy-Gen® II containers and helps to extend the life of the pump. The Control Station is also equipped with a time delay, so in the event of a power outage or change in Ethy-Gen® II containers, the delay will override the flow detector to allow the pump to prime.
