PerfoTec
The freshness of produce depends on its respiration rate—the rate at which it consumes oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. The Fast Respiration Meter from PerfoTec measures this rate in just 4 hours, providing insights for preserving produce. We maximize freshness with data-driven precision

Produce is alive, even after it’s packaged. Moreover, each type of produce has its own personality. The Fast Respiration Meter measures the exact respiration rate, finding out the personality, which enables us to keep produce fresher for longer. With PerfoTec, freshness is no longer guesswork.
The Fast Respiration Meter is engineered for speed and precision, delivering respiration data within 4 hours. Here’s how it works in three steps:
The FRM can be supplied with different vessel sizes, tailored to your produce. Low baskets for small fruits, mid-sized baskets for vegetables and tropical fruits, and large vessels for flowers. The system measures both oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production, along with optional ethylene measurement to predict ripening speed—crucial for stock management. This comprehensive data is securely stored and can be uploaded to our online platform for further analysis.
Every data point gathered by the Fast Respiration Meter adds to a growing knowledge base about produce respiration. This data becomes invaluable for optimizing conditions, allowing PerfoTec to fine-tune freshness strategies over time.
By gathering respiration data within just 4 hours, the Fast Respiration Meter accelerates decision-making. Faster insights mean faster implementation, reducing trial and error and ensuring packaging is based on real produce needs.
Data-driven decisions allow for customization. From leafy greens to delicate herbs, each produce type benefits from an approach that’s informed by its specific respiration characteristics. This data-driven customization supports better quality control and longer shelf life.
All respiration data is uploaded to PerfoTec Hub, where it’s securely stored and used to automatically adjust packaging conditions. This integration creates an efficient workflow, reducing manual handling and making data accessible for future reference.
With detailed data records for each batch, the Fast Respiration Meter supports quality assurance processes. Data stored in PerfoTec Hub can be easily accessed and reviewed for transparency, traceability, and continuous improvement.
The Fast Respiration Meter is just the first step in a complete data-driven freshness solution. By storing and analyzing data in PerfoTec Hub, each measurement builds our knowledge of produce respiration. Over time, this knowledge base enables ongoing refinements to packaging strategies, making the freshness process smarter and more responsive.
Our story doesn’t stop here. Started from a grower's mission to improve packaging and stop food waste, we are now here. We are happy to tell you all about our solutions.
