BION to Present Multi-Stage Air Treatment and Monitoring Solutions for Post-Harvest Produce at Fruit Attraction 2026

BION, part of Camfil, will present a portfolio of air treatment and monitoring solutions for post-harvest produce at Fruit Attraction 2026, taking place October 6–8 at IFEMA Madrid, Hall 4, Stand 4A19. The offering addresses the quality of the air surrounding fruits and vegetables during storage and transport, where ethylene, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and fungal spores can accelerate ripening, aging, and spoilage and thereby shorten commercial shelf life.

Solutions across the supply chain

The BION range combines technologies mapped to different stages of the post-harvest journey:

• Filtration equipment for storage chambers
• Filters for transport (e.g., shipping containers)
• Sachets incorporated into packaging, including Ethyl Stopper for ethylene control in climacteric fruits and Fungi Stop for controlling fungi and bacteria
• Monitoring equipment and expert advice for tailoring solutions to a specific operation

Depending on the application, a given solution targets either the control of ethylene and other volatile compounds or the reduction of contaminants associated with spoilage. The choice of technology depends on factors such as fruit variety, transit time, and storage characteristics.

Integration and target users

Air treatment systems can be integrated into storage rooms, shipping containers, and packaging, with the filtration media not coming into direct contact with the product. BION positions the approach for producers, packing houses, exporters, and logistics operators seeking to maintain quality across more stages of the commercial journey and to extend freshness while reducing losses. As with any post-harvest strategy, results depend on the specific fruit and the actual conditions of use.

During the fair, professionals will be able to review the solutions on offer and assess which alternatives best suit their preservation, transport, and distribution needs. Information regarding the trade fair and the stand is provided by IFEMA.
