Vapor Heat Treatment from Techno Reinetsu Co., Ltd.

Techno Reinetsu of Japan is a reliable and experienced manufacturer of the Vapor Heat Treatment Plants. This system is a non-chemical alternative to control and sterilize quarantine pests in an ecofriendly way.

Techno Reinetsu of Japan has developed a Vapor Heat Treatment system that is a non-chemical alternative to control and quarantine unwanted insects and fungi in perishable commodities and tropical fruits like mangoes or papayas. Our VHT system helps to ensure that your customers have a healthy choice when they buy fruit. Vapor heat treatment is a very environmentally friendly process of sterilization which is much safer than the use of insecticides and other synthetic chemcials.

When exporting tropical fresh fruit, such as mango and papaya, the fruit needs to go through strict plant quarantine inspections in the importing country to ensure that quarantine pests such as eggs and larvae of Melon flies and oriental fruit flies (which originate in tropical regions) and are present in fruits grown in these regions are sterilised and incapable of growing and multiplying in the importing country.

Importing countries where such pests do not exist insist that such fruit is treated by suitable process or processes to ensure extinction and sterilisation of such pests as a means to protect the flora of the importing country.

Vapor Heat Treatment is a perfect method for such a treatment and the process complies with strictest international standards. The Vapor Heat Treatment System achieves this objective with the use of hot saturated water vapour, and without the use of any chemicals. At the same time, during the process, the temperature and humidity are meticulously controlled so that the fruit is not damaged and freshness is naturally preserved. The Vapor Heat Treatment System is a safe way to treat fruit so that it passes the quarantine inspection, enabling the fruit to be exported.
