Transporting soft fruits or vegetables over long distances is a constant battle against time and physics. The biggest enemies here are moisture and uncontrolled ripening. Standard films often worsen the situation by creating a "sauna" effect under the cover, which encourages rotting. The PerfoTec Pallet Cover approaches this problem differently - it is a system that "breathes" along with the product.
Most pallet cover solutions (pallet liners) serve only as a barrier. The problem arises when fruits respire, emitting heat and water vapor. If this moisture has nowhere to escape, it settles on the produce, providing a direct path for mold growth.
The PerfoTec Pallet Cover utilizes Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) technology. Thanks to precision laser perforation tailored to the specific type of fruit, a stable micro climate iscreated inside the pallet. This system maintains the appropriate levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide, effectively slowing down the plant's aging process.
The greatest advantage of this solutionis humidity control during transport. The use of modern materials with a high WaterVapor Transmission Rate (high WVTR pallet covers) ensures that excess vaporis effectively vented outside.
The effectiveness of this technology isconfirmed by rigorous tests on the most demanding fruits:
● Strawberries- these are among the most difficult fruits in logistics. Tests have shown that thanks to PerfoTec, they maintain full freshness, firmness, and natural gloss significantly longer than in standard packaging. The system eliminates condensation, which in traditional films leads to the rapid spoilage of the batch.
● Grapes - in a direct comparison with conventional packaging, grapes stored in the PerfoTec system after 60 days at 0°C showed 0% mold growth. During the same period, fruit in standard films was completely overtaken by fungi.
● Reduced condensation in refrigerated transport - less condensed vapor means dry fruit, even with temperature fluctuations in the coldstore.
● Fruit andvegetable freshness - products retain their crunch andcolor because they do not lose net weight (prevention of dehydration).
For companies involved in the sea freight of fruit, time is critical. Extending fruit shelf life by an extra week or two allows for safer planning of long-distance routes and the ability to sell goods when market prices are at their peak.
This is professional food pallet protection that requires no complicated handling - the system is fully compatible with standard logistics and is significantly more effective than traditional liners or ethylene absorbers. It is quite simply robust protection for fresh produce at every stage of the journey.
Investing in advanced fruit transport packaging is a way to turn the risk of loss into guaranteed profit. Fewer customer complaints, no weight loss, and the possibility of longer storage mean that the investment in PerfoTec Pallet Covers pays off instantly. By choosing solutions based on plant biology, you gain the confidence that your cargo -whether Berries, Brassicas,Leafy greens or Fresh herbs - will reach its destination in perfect condition.
