Regardless of your grocery store’s size, smart product presentation makes a positive impact on sales.

When was the last time you took a fresh look at your produce department displays?

The best produce display ideas are the ones that get a busy shopper to slow down and take a second look. That pause often turns into additional items added to the basket. Consumers want healthy choices on the table at home, and you want them to buy their fruits and vegetables in your store.

  • A recent report estimated that the cost of food waste to the Australian economy was around $20 billion each year. This was on top of Australian consumers throwing away approximately 3.1 million tonnes of food, with the commercial and industrial sector throwing away a further 2.2 million tonnes.

The problem with traditional grocery store displays is that herbs and produce tend to lose their freshness quickly due to factors such as exposure to air and temperature fluctuations. This leads to a reduction in quality, taste and shelf life, resulting in customer dissatisfaction and increased waste for grocery stores. The CONTRONICS DRY MIST SYSTEM solves this problem by maintaining the ideal humidity level for herbs and produce, using a dry mist technology that helps to keep the produce hydrated and reduce moisture loss, maintaining freshness for longer periods of time.

In addition to improving customer satisfaction, the CONTRONICS DRY MIST SYSTEM also helps to reduce food waste. By keeping herbs and produce fresh for longer periods of time, grocery stores can sell more products and reduce the amount of produce that is thrown away due to spoilage. This not only benefits the grocery store by reducing waste and increasing profitability, but it also has a positive impact on the environment by reducing the amount of food waste that ends up in landfills. The DRY MIST SYSTEM is also more efficient and hygienic than traditional systems, as it does not contribute to the growth of bacteria and mould, which can also impact the freshness of the produce.

In conclusion, the CONTRONICS DRY MIST SYSTEM is an innovative Award Winning solution to the problem of quickly losing freshness in herbs and produce in traditional grocery store displays. It helps to extend the shelf life, maintain quality, taste and freshness, improve customer satisfaction, and reduce food waste. By implementing this system, grocery stores can play a role in reducing food waste and contributing to a more sustainable future.

    Weight Loss

    Dry misting ensures proper humidity control, minimising weight loss in perishable products during storage. It prevents excessive moisture evaporation, preserving natural moisture content and reducing shrinkage. This maintains product quality and appearance.

    Shelf Life

    Contronics Dry Misting slows natural deterioration in post-harvest storage. It delays wilting, shriveling, and dehydration by minimising moisture loss, extending shelf life. This reduces waste and improves product marketability.

  • Preservation of Freshness and Quality

    Dry Misting maintains humidity for preserving freshness, texture, and quality of perishables. It retains crispness, colour, firmness, and nutrition, enhancing visual appeal and taste. This boosts customer satisfaction and repeat purchases.

  • Reduction in
    Microbial Growth

    By maintaining proper humidity levels in post-harvest storage, it creates an unfavourable environment for bacteria and fungi. This reduces the risk of diseases and decay, improving product safety and minimising spoilage losses.

Dry Misting in Post-Harvest with the Inclusion of ECAS

Roar Equipment's partnership with Contronics in the area of dry misting technology extends beyond simply reducing bacteria and fungi growth. Their dry misting systems also include the application of Electrochemically Activated Solutions (ECAS) - a natural disinfectant, to further enhance the benefits of dry misting in post-harvest applications.

The use of ECAS in dry misting systems can help to reduce the effects of Ethylene in the ripening process of fresh produce. Ethylene is a naturally occurring gas that is produced during the ripening process of fruits and vegetables. While Ethylene is necessary for ripening, excessive amounts of it can lead to accelerated spoilage and reduced shelf life.

The application of ECAS in dry misting systems can help to neutralize the effects of ethanol by converting it into acetic acid, which is less harmful to fresh produce. This can help to extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables, reduce food waste, and increase profitability.
