Sevenox: intelligent ethylene control – Fruit Attraction

Sevenox presents its intelligent air control technology for the fruit and vegetable sector, designed to optimise the shelf life of fruit and vegetables throughout the supply chain and combat ‘food waste’

Our solution is based on the on-site generation of Sevenox cold plasma from ambient air, acting directly on the compounds responsible for product ageing, particularly ethylene. This smart control slows down natural physiological processes, reducing accelerated ripening and improving product stability during storage, handling and transport.

Our system integrates easily into storage chambers, packing tunnels, logistics centres and refrigerated transport, always working in conjunction with the existing airflow (evaporators or air conditioning). This allows for uniform and efficient distribution without the need to modify existing infrastructure.

Key benefits observed in real-world applications include:

  • Extended shelf life (up to 6–75 days, depending on the product)
  • Reduced wastage and food waste.
  • Improved colour consistency and ripening.
  • Reduced dehydration and weight loss.
  • Optimised logistics by enabling greater flexibility in product management.
  • Maximising the use of all resources employed for every kilo of product.

Sevenox incorporates advanced sensor technology and Industry 4.0 connectivity, enabling real-time monitoring of key air parameters and automatic adjustment of the treatment level according to the product’s needs. This makes the system a predictive and efficient tool within the cold chain, making us a ‘unique’ system on a global scale.

Our technology is already being applied to a wide range of fruit and vegetable products, demonstrating significant improvements in final quality and a reduction in food waste, in line with the sector’s new regulatory and sustainability requirements. Visit us at Fruit Attraction, stand 5A11A
