BLUEBERRY PACKAGING
Berryguard™
BLUEBERRY PACKAGING TECHNOLOGY / PALLET
Berry Guard™ is an innovative packaging system developed by OSKU and validated by Davis, University of California and important Chilean Blueberry Export Companies.
The system comprises a pallet-cover bag controlling the relative humidity and 5 bands of pads releasing Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂) which together effectively control the development of Botrytis Cinerea on blueberries.
The product allows extended times of transit and/or storage. Berry Guard™ pads are devices that are composed of laminated covered polymers which stably control the SO₂ emission by applying very low dosis of gas to the fruit with the purpose of stopping the action of Botrytis Cinerea.
Berryguard™
BLUEBERRY PACKAGING TECHNOLOGY / BOX TO BOX SYSTEM
Berryguard pads are devices compounding coated laminated polymers which stably control SO₂ emission applying a very low dosage of this gas to the fruit with the purpose of stopping the action of Botrytis Cinerea fungus. It can be adapted to up to 4 types of packaging sizes and perforations are precisely designed to facilitate the adequate ventilation and gas emission inside of the box .
The density of the plastic barrier and the specific particle size of the active ingredient Na₂S₂O₅ allows an homogeneous and stable release of sodium metabisulfite during transit and/or storage of fruit .
The box to box Berry Guard ™ system is a different and innovative application of the SO₂ generating device in blueberry transits and/or storage with excellent results in both clamshell and bulk shipments.
