Fresh produce

In the fresh produce processing industry, companies need to efficiently handle their residual flows such as cutting waste or rejected products. Many of these residual products are bulky, which results in high transport costs and challenges in processing. Smicon offers innovative solutions for cutting, pumping, filtering and dewatering fresh produce residual flows, which reduces waste volume and lowers transport costs.

Companies in the fresh produce sector process large quantities of organic material that can spoil quickly and requires a lot of space and costs. This brings challenges:

• Fresh produce residual flows are often bulky and contain a lot of moisture, which makes transport expensive.
• Providing the right quality end product in the form of animal feed or biogas requires a lot of knowledge. If upgrading residual flows to these end products is not the most important part of a business model, this can be an obstacle.
• Fresh produce requires fast and reliable processing to prevent spoilage.

SMICON SOLUTION

Our machines are designed to efficiently cut, pump, filter and dewater fresh produce waste streams, reducing waste volume and transport costs. In addition, our systems ensure that these waste products are ready for further processing into animal feed or as biogas feedstock, allowing fresh produce companies to extract more value from their waste streams.
