In order to achieve hyper-specialization in an area, a lot of investment is required. That’s exactly the kind of thing F.lli Candiano, based in Ispica (Sicily) is achieved. Together with Bulltec The company is developing a method of cultivation that is dedicated specifically to cultivating cucumbers and courgettes.
A Italian firm that specializes in the manufacturing and distribution of white, dark and striped courgettes. F.lli Candiano cultivates around 500 acres of terrain.
Sebastiano Candiano, the owner and sales director of Fratelli Candiano, says “Our cooperation with Bulltec began to increase the effectiveness of our production line, while preserving the unbeatable high-end quality of our products. Bulltec has proved the perfect choice for a partner and provided a customized technical solution offered by Ruggero Ricci which perfectly met our needs.”
Bulltec performed a comprehensive investigation to determine a suitable solution that could meet the requirements of the F.lli Candiano company. They suggested a processing plant that includes a sizing equipment and a streamlined product transportation device on a belt, as well as a pneumatic ejection system which can be used to select the maximum of five different products every second in a row.
The invention is patent-pending by Bulltec as well as because of the transversal orientation, as well as the construction of a conveyor belt that was designed specifically to handle the job that can process capacities of 5 to 6 tonnes/hour could be realized with a high degree of efficacy.
Andrea Candiano, head of the department of agro-technical: “The Bulltec processing line lets us leverage the great work that is done on the field, from selection of seeds to harvesting. The product was tested following processing, and the results were satisfactory. The product is handled delicately and there are no marks visible on the veggies.”
“The Bulltec processing line enables us to handle up to 150 tonnes a day of courgettes. This is accomplishing our goal of increasing efficiency of the line and preserving the high-quality of our products. We’re extremely satisfied by this purchase. Bulltec has provided outstanding support during the testing process and made adjustments when required. Similar results could be obtained with cucumbers.”
The wide belt sander designed by Bulltec designed for F.lli Candiano is using for some time currently. Based on the Cesena business’s ethos, this machine also prioritizes ease of usage and effectiveness. It is free of buckets, which ensures an efficient processing process which reduces the chance of mechanical malfunctions, which happen frequently in bucket machines. This is in turn decreasing the requirement for the complexity and cost of repair and maintenance of the components. In addition, Bulltec owner Ruggero Ricci states that the machine is equipped with two rows in line with the specifications of clients and has a capacity of between 5 and 6 tons per hour.
Ricci is also sharing his opinions about the latest exhibition held on display in Catania. “We have just came back from the Frutech show, and we had a meeting with various experts in the industry. Sicily is the most important Italian zone for horticulture and we’re also there with a reliable service system. Our technology for sorting and the guarantee of weight that we tailor to meet requirements of the customer, are suitable for mid-sized businesses, and make up a large part of the Sicilian economic landscape.” the expert says.
“Our involvement in Sicily has been growing. We are a part of Frutech that has a huge potential to grow throughout the south it has helped us increase our relationships with a variety of firms located on the island. “If an organization requires customisation of their project, which improves efficiency and effectiveness We are able to fulfill their needs,” he concludes.
