The main problem exists in Preservation Industry of fruits

1. Improper field operations, bad habits of production poses a potential threat for storage

Field management is the prerequisite for fruits of production, quality and storability. Due to the level of productivity and other limits, the degree of standardization of China’s fruit production is still low, production operations are not standardized. Driven by the interests, some farmers even use excessively nitrogen fertilizer in production, spray toner in grape production and set PE film bags in pomegranate production. Some harvest fruits early even when fruits are still green in order to grab market. These acts lead to a negative impact on fruit quality and storability.

2. Incomplete Cold Chain

Fresh produce preservation is a system work and the complete cold chain system includes pre-cooling, refrigeration, heat transport. In recent years, our country has invested in a number of cold storages and air conditioned libraries, although these facilities for fresh fruits and vegetables circulation are very effective, but our pre-cooling of the fresh fruits and vegetables is the key which we do not pay much attention to

3. Limited storage capacity, Backward facilities, Low utilization

Our machinery industry for fresh fruits started late, although the development of is fast, the formation of large-scale level is not realized. Developed countries could receive timely postharvest fruit storage, and 70% to 80% for controlled atmosphere storage while storage of fruit production capacity is only 20% in China, and more for easy storage, refrigeration, controlled atmosphere storage only takes 7%. The controlled atmosphere storage is far less than 1% of total output, controlled atmosphere storage only 200 million tons.

4.  Preservative causes pollution, Safety of fresh fruits decreases

In order to improve the storage effect, spray dissolving drug or smoked drug on postharvest fruits are common supporting measures on the production, but the negative impact on fruit preservative safety is often ignored.

5. Serious gap between research and production, the transformation rate is low.

Our preservation technical research is with a late start, technical strength is relatively weak, coupled with other reasons of the management and finance, so that research work is out of touch with the market, lack of continuity and systematicness, thus limit the development and application of new technologies.

The Development Trend of China’s Fruit Storage Industry

1. Fruit preservation technology is toward the direction of integrated control, including physical control, chemical control, agricultural control and biotechnology control.

Standardization, automation, supporting technology and organic fruit storage, transport technologies are representing the characteristics and trends of an era.

2. Attention to research on postharvest fruit physiology, diseases and quality control

3. Modernization of Storage and Transport Equipment

In recent years, China has introduced a number of advanced storage and transport equipment, including grading and packaging production lines. Vacuum cooling machine, vehicle and vessels with refrigeration unit, freezer, refrigerator and air conditioned library and more to promote the modernization of China’s fruit and vegetable storage and transport.

4. The increased investment in fruits preservation, implementing industrial operation.

Nowadays, fruit and vegetable market has been through a tough hit. To accelerate the preservation of industrial investment, form an industrial scale, enjoy a sufficient strength to face international competition are the current problems to be solved. At present, governments at all levels attach great importance to fresh fruits and vegetables industry.  In the “five year” plan, particular emphasis is paid on the importance of developing storage and preservation of agricultural industry. Fruit and vegetable preservation industry will be one of the most potential in modern agricultural development.

Focusun seize the initiative in the fruit and vegetable preservation industry. From 2010 onwards, we have invested several years of research for vacuum cooling machine. In 2014, the successful launch of the product to market has achieved remarkable success in the customer’s actual use. Focusun manufactured different vacuum cooling equipment based on various physical properties of materials. Our machine ranges from fruit and vegetable vacuum cooler, flowers vacuum cooler, and cooked food vacuum cooling machine. According to the amount of dehydration, together with sprinkler system, the machine can prevent dehydration during the pre-cooling.
