In order to obtain an excellent final product, particular attention must be paid to the receiving and sorting phase of the incoming fresh tomato, before being sent to the processing section. The raw material coming from the harvesting areas is transported by truck, by bins or case. Tomatoes can be unloaded into the feeding channels by bin dumpers or case dumpers, or directly from the trucks through the use of water spray nozzles. An energetic washing, done with a shower system mounted on a roller elevator, guarantees maximum cleaning.
Born in the Food Valley, FBR ELPO has been manufacturing machines and complete lines for tomato and fruit processing and aseptic filling for over 50 years.
