Helping vegetable processors achieve food safety and product quality
Guaranteeing food safety. Protecting brand reputations. Complying with product specifications. Minimizing food waste. Maximizing yields. Protecting profitability. Too many challenges for the growers, processors and packers of fresh, fresh-cut, canned, frozen and dried vegetables! Challenges which would be so much easier if foreign materials didn’t get mixed up with freshly harvested vegetables. Or if every batch of vegetables didn’t contain sub-standard product. Or if the presence of these unwanted materials on the processing line wasn’t sometimes almost impossible to detect. The good news is that optical sorting machines can deal with all these challenges.

How nut processors can gain from the latest sorting technologies
It’s not easy for nut processors to ensure food safety or meet customers’ product specifications. For one thing, foreign material and shell fragments can get into the processing line’s product stream. For another, nuts can be damaged by both by external and internal defects which can be almost impossible to detect. There’s also the risk posed by allergens if one type of nut should unintentionally get mixed with another. Yet all of these threats have to be eliminated to protect processors and retailers from product recalls and reputational damage.
This is achievable thanks to the extraordinary effectiveness of state-of-the-art optical sorting machines.

Ten good reasons why "trusted togetherness" boosts profitability at food processors and packhouses
One of the most successful businessmen of all time, the American industrialist Andrew Carnegie, identified teamwork as “the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.” The influential business consultant Ken Blanchard put it another way: “None of us is as smart as all of us.” In other words, even the cleverest, most focused, hardest-working people can achieve more when they collaborate with others. This is certainly true at food processing plants and packhouses, where efficiencies depend not only on the line equipment, but also on the teamwork of the people managing and operating it.
