Hello everyone! Recently, our team just completed a major project—the construction of a 5000 square meter banana ripening warehouse. This is a modern ripening facility specially designed for imported and domestic bananas, capable of precisely controlling temperature, humidity, and ethylene concentration, allowing green bananas to uniformly turn into attractive golden yellow ripe bananas in just 4-7 days. The entire project, from foundation construction to equipment installation, took several months, with workers battling intense heat and severe cold, working day and night, and finally completing it successfully!
A banana ripening warehouse is not an ordinary cold storage; it combines insulation, refrigeration, ventilation, and gas control systems. Key features include:
- High-standard insulation: Using polyurethane panels or PUF panels to ensure stable internal temperature at 16-19℃ and humidity above 90%, preventing bananas from losing water or ripening unevenly.
- Ethylene ripening system: Equipped with professional ethylene generators that safely release ethylene gas (concentration controlled at 200-500ppm), initiating the natural ripening process of bananas—more uniform and safer than traditional methods.
- Forced ventilation design: Bidirectional fan system ensures even air circulation, so every box of bananas can “breathe” fresh air and gas.
- Intelligent control: Automatically monitors CO₂ concentration, temperature, and humidity to prevent over-ripening or diseases.
During construction, the most challenging part was installing these precision equipments. The brothers on site, from foundation pouring and wall assembly to refrigeration unit hoisting and pipeline welding, worked meticulously. Especially in the low-temperature winter environment, everyone’s hands were frozen red, yet they persisted with overtime to keep the schedule on track. Safety first—every process was strictly controlled, ultimately building an efficient and environmentally friendly ripening center!
This 5000㎡ large warehouse is expected to process tens of thousands of boxes of bananas at once, helping merchants shorten time to market and improve fruit quality, so consumers can enjoy fresh and sweet bananas anytime. After project completion, watching boxes of green bananas turn golden yellow—that sense of achievement is truly overwhelming!
Once again, thank you to all the brothers who participated in the construction—you’ve worked hard! Without your sweat, there would be no this modern “banana transformation factory.” In the future, we will continue to strive to build more high-quality cold chain facilities and contribute to fruit preservation.
Everyone is welcome to leave comments and discuss: How ripe do you like your bananas? A bit green and crunchy, or fully yellow and soft-sweet? 😄
