All our complete lines are equipped with accurate receiving and washing integrated systems which allow the ingredients to reach the processing phase, where raw materials are turned into final product ready to be filled. This final stage can be reached only after a careful selection of the raw ingredients (fruits or vegetables) entering the processing line.

Size Grader
This fully stainless-steel machine has been designed to size grade tomatoes coming from the unloading lines in order to sort the most suitable products for the various down stream processing lines. The machine can sort up to 3 different sizes by adjusting the distance between the grading rollers (20 to 90 mm) using the supplied wheels. The machine capacity is up to 35/40 Ton/h of fresh incoming tomato.
OVERVIEW
The sizer is a machine installed in the reception area of the fresh product, suitable for the selection of the fruit by diameter.
The operation involves calibrating the product through pairs of tilting rollers, which distance themselves during the transport phase of the product, dropping the fruits on the belts below; from the smaller fruits (called broken fruit) in the first belt to the intermediate fruit (in the second belt) to the largest (suitable fruit) in the last output belt.
The different gauges are adjustable by buttons placed sideways, thus giving to the operator the opportunity to meet all production needs. The rotation of the rollers is managed by a inverter-connected motor, which means that the fruits are distributed in the right drop zone of the sizer. The power can be provided either through a hydraulic duct or dry through an elevator or tape.
In some cases, an underlying channel for recovering the fresh product is installed, so as to eliminate waste even in the event of malfunction.
The supply includes clear documentation and a CE certification for materials in contact with foodstuffs, which is compliant with the current regulations.

Discharge and hydraulic transport
System designed to fulfil relevant needs of the tomato and fruit processing industry. Product can be received in boxes, bins or by gondola. In this latter case the discharge occurs flooding the gondola tub by means of adjustable hoses; in this way the outlet water gently floats the product out.
OVERVIEW
The product is separated from the water by crossing an inclined grill cleaner that lets the product roll into a flume. each progressive flume contains cleaner water and washes while conveying the product to the processing lines. The group is equipped with a redler system to automatically take away stones, mud and foreign bodies.
PRODUCTS: tomato, fruit
BENEFITS:
- High discharge capacity
- The truck can be discharged while a second one gets closer and it is prepared to be discharged keeping the process working
- Continuous discharge of stones, earth and whatever with no needs to stop the line for cleaning operations
- Use of water with multiple levels of clenliness to get a progressive washing of the incoming raw product
- Water saving by means of a water filtration system maintaining a high quality of finished product
