All-new cluster separating machine for cherries, which eliminates product damage, will be shown publicly for the first time at the international trade exhibition in Spain.

TOMRA Food introduces SmartGrade on its Spectrim platform. The new system puts the packhouse in complete control of grading with such accuracy that it is able to pack fruit to maximize sales by matching very precisely the specific requirements of the individual customers. It identifies each blemish and defect type, and maintains consistent grading performance even when there is high variability in the quality profile of incoming fruit batches. US-based packer Prima Frutta is an excellent example of how SmartGrade takes grading accuracy to an entirely new level, delivering significant improvements in efficiency, yields and profitability with all commodity types.

Compac, part of the TOMRA Food family, extends its box filling platform offering with the new-generation Gentle Box Filler+ model developed specifically for the most delicate produce. It combines faster throughput with the industry-leading gentle handling that is the hallmark of Compac's original box filler design. The significantly higher throughput translates into more added value for the packer's operation due to the greater productivity, efficiency and flexibility, as well as a smaller initial investment – with the gentlest handling.

TOMRA Visual Assist virtually places TOMRA's expert in front of the customer's machine, enabling a fast response and, during the COVID-19 pandemic, overcoming travel restrictions and addressing safety concerns.

Compac (gruppo TOMRA Food) e i suoi partner ICOEL e Sardas si sono trovati ad affrontare una sfida eccezionale: proprio mentre si preparavano a spedire e installare tre linee di selezione e confezionamento chiavi in mano in Turchia e una quarta in Uzbekistan è scoppiata la pandemia COVID-19. Nonostante la situazione, con paesi in isolamento, restrizioni di viaggio e interruzioni della logistica del trasporto merci, i quattro progetti sono stati completati nei tempi previsti. Questo risultato ha richiesto tutto l'ingegno dei team coinvolto nell'installazione, che è stato in grado di sfruttare la presenza globale e l'estrema flessibilità operative di Compac. Le quattro linee, dotate della piattaforma di selezione InVision2, sono riuscite ad essere operative per l'inizio della stagione delle ciliegie, per la soddisfazione dei clienti. Con le nuove linee di selezione e confezionamento Compac, le ditte turche Perla Fruit, Karaali e Unifrutti e Uz-Segang in Uzbekistan hanno chiuso la stagione in positivo, ricevendo ottimi feedback dai clienti finali.
