Auto-Ripe® Ethylene Generator

The redesigned Auto-Ripe® Generator was developed in 2021 after a recognized need for a thinner, wall-mounted, vertical storage of Ethy-Gen® II Ripening Concentrate. A better fit in tightly packed ripening rooms, the Auto-Ripe® holds up to 4 liters and alerts to a low Ethy-Gen® II level.

Newly redesigned.

  • Auto-Ripe Slim

    Slim Design

    At only 5.6 inches / 14.2 cm depth, the Auto-Ripe® is an ideal solution for narrow ripening rooms. Ease your mind as forklifts and other mechanical equipment enter and exit ripening rooms with this slim design.

  • Auto-Ripe Wall-mount

    Wall Mount

    Four keyhole slots are on the backside of the Auto-Ripe® for quick and easy wall-mounting. If floor use is preferable, stands to support the generator are available.

  • Auto-Ripe top

    Level Indication

    Two LED lights turn on when the Ethy-Gen® II reservoir reaches low levels of 250 mL (0.26 qt.) or less. Also, continuous indication of operation status is provided, making it clearly evident of ethylene production.

Auto-Ripe® Details…

  • Produces consistent, non-pressurized and safe ethylene levels for uniform degreening

    No mixture with inert gas is needed as our system is inherently safe

    Easy to make only as much ethylene as needed for the target room, no need to store large quantities of compressed gas on site

    Each bottle of Ethy-Gen® II makes approximately 0.386 m3 / 13.63 ft3 of ethylene

    There are no residues as a result of our ethylene application

    Adjustable ethylene output allows for adaptation to any ethylene PPM requirement and any room size

  • 230 VAC/0.66 AMP/160 W/50-60 Hz with power plug type European CEE 7-7 (Other types available upon request )

    120 VAC/1.33 AMP/160 W/50-60 Hz with power plug type North American NEMA 5-15 (Other types available upon request )

  • Adjustable Conversion Rate: the amount Ethy-Gen® II that converts to ethylene is a user-selectable rate and varies from 0.5 to 2 liters per 24 hours (additional and custom rates available).

    Tank Volume: Standard 4.0 Liters; 1.0 and 2.5 Liter tanks also available

    Ethylene Output: Approximately 0.386 m3 / 13.63 ft3 of ethylene will result from the conversion of one liter of Ethy-Gen® II in a minimum period of 12 hours.

  • Place on wall with four screws using the included template, or request optional floor stand.

    Location in room is wherever convenient and protected from traffic of pallet jacks and lifts.

  • Our generators can be used for fruit ripening in rooms that have a minimum cubic dimension of 45 cubic meters / 1,600 cubic feet.

    On the maximum side, the general rule is 10,000 cubic foot (285 cubic meters). The actual dimensions depends on several factors, including desired ethylene level and room “tightness” (how well-sealed the room is to prevent air loss).

    For rooms larger than this, additional generators can be used, if needed, to achieve the proper ethylene level. It may be possible to use just one generator for a room that is larger than 10,000 ft3 / 285 m3; again, dependent upon how tight the room is. We have some customers that are able to use just one generator in rooms that are 570 m3 / 20,000 ft3 and still achieve 150 ppm of ethylene.

    Remember, ethylene is explosive at 27,000 ppm; always use our generators in ripening rooms that are 45 m3 (1,600 ft3) or larger. When using our equipment as directed, explosive levels of ethylene in ripening rooms are not possible.
