Introducing a New Innovation,
Restrain’s PET Technology

Key benefits of ethylene gas

Maintain Quality

The Restrain generator follows an optimised protocol to maintain the fry colour of potatoes. The system continuously measures temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide, and ethylene. The machine will adjust the ethylene concentration to the desired level.

User friendly

Restrain is simple to set up and use, comprehensive online training is available for our customers. The system is suitable in all types of storages.

Sustainable

The Restrain generator converts ‘low carbon’ ethanol to ethylene gas. This process is done through a catalytic convertor.  Ethylene leaves zero residue on the crop or in the store.

No waiting time

The crop can be unloaded from storage at any time. The ethylene concentration will be built up once the doors of the storage are shut again.

Save thousands on energy costs with the Restrain CO2 extractor!

Energy Calculator

Energy prices continue to see significant volatility. With that in mind, Restrain has developed a product that can reduce energy costs: The CO2 extractor. When the concentration of CO2 gets too high, this product will extract and return the storage to an acceptable level. The calculator below can show the benefits of the CO2 extractor based on crop & storage information. Explore the Energy Calculator now!
