Once the potatoes have been harvested, they must be taken to the packing or storage warehouses. At this stage, it is essential to have “delicate” machinery, which allows these transfers to be carried out safely, without damaging the product. Once loaded on the trailers, the potatoes will have to be transferred, either directly into boxes or, more easily, into hoppers complete with de-soiler (and, often, also pre-calibrator).

PLA-RIBA tippers have been designed for the primary supply of process lines, by transferring food products from steel oages or bins to loading bunkers, tanks, elevator belt conveyors, screw conveyors and other start-line loading systems.

In this phase, the operators prepare the salad heads to enter the processing line, removing the core, where present, and external leaves that are not suitable for processing and packaging. Whatever the production required, we are able to adapt the workstations of the preparation and sorting tables to the number of operators, automating repetitive tasks as much as possible.

When we talk about fresh-cut we talk about processed and ready-to-eat products. The transformation takes place thanks to the cutters that reduce salad, (and the other mixed products to put in the bags), to the desired format.

When the need is not to transform the product but to pack it whole as it appears in the field, Sgorbati provides the right solution with the packaging systems that, through an innovative sealing method, allow to reduce packaging times and costs and to extend the shelf life of the product, thanks to the use of a specific patented and customizable film.
