Processing & conditioning
Ethylene setups for controlled colour development.
We set these up where a crop needs help colouring in a closed room. The room, the ventilation, the timing and what you are trying to fix all come into it.
Conditioning support
The generator is only part of getting colour right.
Ethylene speeds up the enzyme process that breaks down chlorophyll and starch, which helps bring colour through. How well it works still depends on the crop, room size, ventilation and temperature, so we look at the full room setup before recommending equipment.

Planned around the room, ventilation and crop objective
Getting it right
It only works if the room is right.
It's about the room
Room size and airflow decide whether the colour comes through evenly or just in one corner.
Timing the treatment
When you treat and for how long is planned around the crop, not left to guesswork.
Ventilation and safety
Air exchange is planned in, with the safety side handled properly.
We'll say if it's worth it
We'll tell you whether ethylene will actually help your crop before you set anything up.

Questions worth settling before you buy.
Yes. We normally start with the crop, volume, site layout, fuel or power source, existing buildings and what is slowing the season down.
Included with every system
Support comes with the system.
Farm visit and sizing
We look at crop, site, fuel, power, buildings and workflow before sizing the system.
Build check-ins
We supply the drawings and check the build at key stages while your builder handles the brickwork.
Season support
Calls, setup help, troubleshooting and practical advice are part of the system.
Related equipment
Often part of the same job.
