Problem
Keep in storage environment medicinal herbs such as leaves, mushrooms, plants and twigs at their original sensory attributes.
Protection from pest menaces and prevention from cross infestations.
Expectation
It’s a commodity that needs to be kept organic to maintain its extremely high commercial value. Therefore requires a biotreatment before packaging, overcoming chemical fumigations.
Solutions & results
VQP delivered in one single process both solutions: organic fumigation as a pest controller and packaging for large volumes.
The chosen treatment was vacuum + CO2, because there was a known infestation. While the chosen machinery was the Cleanpack combi to package large and small volumes simultaneously.
Mind that the treatment did go on even after sealing and stored the VQP packaging.
