As one of the market leaders in Europe, we produce ripening rooms with literally “ripe” technology. Our long experience of the most diverse requirements unlocks unprecedented possibilities that leave nothing to be desired.
No matter whether you require pressurised ripening rooms with tarpaulin covering, airbag technology or a permanent ceiling, in single, two or even three-storey versions – we implement your wishes with innovative solutions, professionally and reliably.
Banana ripening rooms, also known as ripening chambers, are controlled environments where bananas are stored in order to accelerate their ripening process. These rooms are typically maintained at a specific temperature, humidity, and ethylene gas level in order to create the optimal conditions for the bananas to ripen uniformly and consistently. This allows for the bananas to be harvested at the right time and ensures that they have the desired flavor, texture, and appearance. Ripening rooms are commonly used in the commercial production and distribution of bananas.
We also provide matching access and door/gate systems and can adapt solutions to perfectly suit your individual wishes and structural on-site conditions. Our gas-tight P+W lift doors are developed and produced by us at our factory as special banana room doors in a highly insulated sandwich design. Together with our customers we continually develop cutting-edge innovations.

Frequently asked questions
-
Can I also store other foods in banana ripening chambers?
Yes, this is possible in principle. A change of technology is required, depending on the customer's wishes. For example, only cooling with air circulation can take place in the rooms. Fruit with acidic liquids such as lemons should not be used in the rooms, as these would attack the material of the chambers.
Other fruits that can be stored in ripening chambers include pineapples and avocados. -
How long can fruit be stored in the banana ripening chambers?
This depends on the fruit to be stored and its variety. Long-term storage of fruit is not possible. For example, bananas and avocados can be stored for up to one week if the degree of ripeness remains the same.
