It’s possible: keep blueberries fresh for up to eight weeks

Blueberries quickly lose firmness and market value. With OptiPallet, however, they can be stored for up to eight weeks without making the storage process more labour-intensive. Fruit and vegetable cooperative BelOrta in Borgloon is already using the solution today.

Release only the right batches

OptiPallet monitors and controls the atmosphere around individual batches in the cold store. This means you do not have to release the entire cold room or batch at once. You only take the batches out of storage that are ready for sale, while the rest remains stored under controlled conditions.

This offers clear advantages:

• spread volumes more evenly across the market;
• respond more effectively to orders and price developments;
• maintain quality and availability for longer;
• reduce waste caused by premature quality loss.

“The OptiPallet system makes our work much easier. It allows us to offer our customers blueberries of consistent quality and at a good price throughout the season.”

— Tim Peeters, Quality Manager at BelOrta Borgloon

Flexible storage for both large and smaller volumes

OptiPallet is suitable for large cooperatives as well as growers, packers and traders handling smaller volumes. Companies can start with just a few batches, without having to equip an entire cold room with controlled-atmosphere technology.

This keeps storage flexible and makes it easier to align supply with market demand.

Looking for more flexible fruit storage?

With OptiPallet, you can store individual batches under targeted conditions and release them at the right time. This helps blueberries and other fruit varieties remain marketable for longer, while giving you more control over quality, timing and inventory.
