Catalytic Generators’ unique ethylene systems comply with the international testing standards of TÜV SÜD America and that registration exempts ripeners from making special ripening room adaptions for international fire code compliance when using Catalytic’s ethylene generators.

Quality testing starts before the produce is even harvested. By measuring Brix and fruit firmness, fruit maturity can be determined, indicating when the fruit is ready to be harvested…and then after harvest, for receiving at distribution centers.
