ABSTRACT:
A chamber and a method for subjecting produce such as bananas to a controlled atmosphere is disclosed. The chamber has an end wall and produce is loaded into the chamber in two rows. A lower tier stack of produce rests on the floor of the chamber while an upper tier stack is supported above the lower tier stack by a frame structure. An atmosphere circulating space is provided at each side of the chamber between the stacks, and the spacing of the rows provides an upper intersitial volume and a lower intersitial volume. Sealing device seals the upper and lower intersitial volumes from each other while further sealing device in the form of two blinds seals the upper and lower intersitial volumes from the atmosphereic circulating space. A controlled atmosphere is caused to flow across the produce from the atmosphere circulating space into the intersitial volumes or in the reverse direction.
