Never Wears Out

From post harvest to market, the Mega Fresh® Filter is a simple, effective, affordable solution for reducing ethylene gas and stopping the cross transfer of odors from one product to another. The Mega Fresh® Filter will increase the shelf life of fruits and vegetables and will reduce shrink (waste) by up to 50%.
The Mega Fresh® Filter is designed for use in commercial refrigeration units. This product is comprised of 100% all natural minerals encased in an aluminum bracket. The Mega Fresh® Filter requires no electricity and has no moving parts. The Mega Fresh® Filter installs behind the produce evaporators resulting in no loss of storage space. When properly maintained, Mega Fresh® Filters never wear out and never need to be replaced.

How does it work? As air moves through the Mega Fresh® Filter, excess moisture, ethylene gas and odors are eliminated by natural minerals called zeolites. This results in crisper, cleaner air, less odor and colder temperatures in the walk-in cooler. Zeolites are safe, inert, stable, non-toxic and non-corrosive.

Ethylene Gas

Ethylene gas is an odorless, colorless gas that is naturally produced by the ripening process. Ethylene gas causes the premature and accelerated ripening and decay of fruits and vegetables. Bananas and tomatoes are shipped while they are green and are exposed to ethylene gas in large chambers to ripen them prior to being placed in supermarkets. By eliminating ethylene gas, Mega Fresh® dramatically increases the shelf life of produce. The USDA has stated that the Mega Fresh® has the ability to put fruits and vegetables to sleep. This means only the internal sugars continue to ripen the fruit or vegetable.

Odor Control

Mega Fresh® removes the cross transfer of odor, so fruits and vegetables can be shipped and stored together.

Humidity Control

Mega Fresh® maintains the idea humidity level in walk-in coolers. When excess humidity is present, the zeolite minerals will remove moisture. When the air is dry, the zeolite minerals will release moisture. Eliminating excess moisture prevents mold, mildew and bacteria growth.

Energy Conservation

When excess moisture is removed from the air, less energy is needed to lower temperatures for cooling. By eliminating excess moisture, Mega Fresh® will cause the walk-in cooler temperature to drop by several degrees and reduce the compressor run time resulting in energy savings.
