Nebulisation
Attractiveness, freshness, taste, anti-waste and better storage of fruits and vegetables on the fresh department
Day and night, ARECO nebulisation preserves the freshness, taste and organoleptic qualities of your fruits and vegetables thanks to stable and controlled hygrometry (90% RH).
ARECO nebulisation allows to enhance your fruits and vegetables departments while reducing food waste. Thanks to our nebulisation systems, your products retain their quality, they are better and longer preserved, which reduces the waste. The resources required to make them to reach the sales area are thus reduced.
