ABSTRACT:
A device for storing fruit, such as bananas, kept in containers placed on a pallet, under controlled conditions. The device comprises a cabinet having an intake and an outlet for air, and a feed and an atomizer for liquid. The air outlet is formed by an essentially open planar front of the cabinet, the dimensions of the outlet essentially corresponding to those of a side of the load of fruit, placed in containers on a pallet, which is to be placed against the cabinet. The air intake opens into a chamber in which the atomizer is mounted. An air-penetrable filter separates this chamber from the outlet. The atomizer preferably comprises a spray tube which extends through the cabinet and has spray nozzles, a splash board being arranged close to the spray tube. The air is forcibly supplied, for example by means of a fan. Buffers for a pallet and guides for guiding the pallet to the front of the cabinet are fitted at the bottom of the cabinet at the front.
