“Consumption rises in season and our business is proactively responding to increasing demand. We’ve just finished an exciting project which saw our MTP cutter, which is perfect to cut tomatoes into quarters or half to make fresh cut varieties, and a washing system,” explains Virginia Cascella the export manager of PND the world’s producer of processing equipment.
Washing phase.
What is the benefit in making use of PND equipment? “They are fast, since they are capable of processing up to 200 kilograms per hour, and they’re extremely secure because they have been designed to comply with the highest standards of safety. They are additionally innovative because loading is automated: the product is lowered into the wash tank, and an elevator transfers it onto an alignment conveyor which aligns it before it is transferred onto the cutting facility.”
Finished product.
“The cutting device is made consisting of four rotating circular blades, which allow cutting of the product into sections. The mechanical lever mechanism moves two blades that slice tomatoes in half. Finally, a conveyor underneath the cutting station is used to store the tomatoes that have been cut. We expect great results in what’s turned out to be an extremely tested prototype that was developed only for one client because interest is already growing across Europe.”
It is capable of processing tomatoes of different grade between O 25 to 40 millimeters and is simple to move since it’s equipped with wheels, which are able to be replaced with adjustable feet.
