Live from Fruit Attraction, Madrid: UNITEC, the selection of quality as a fundamental principle

UNITEC, an international group specializing in the design and production of processing and quality selection technologies for fruit and vegetables, exhibits Hall 9, 9D13. Blueberry Vision 2 technology competes for the "ACCELERA Awards for Innovation and Entrepreneurship" in the "F & V Indusry Award" category.

 

 

 

The Blueberry Vision 2 technology has recently brought important results, especially in Spain, in the Costa de Huelva cooperative which chose it to sort its blueberries. The cooperative is part of the Onuba Fruit Group, the European leader in the cultivation and export of berries.

 

 

 

The cooperative trusted UNITEC by purchasing a 32-lane facility - two 16-lane sorting machines - equipped with Blueberry Vision 2 technology, making it a packaging company with one of the world's largest facilities, processing and quality selection of blueberries. The intallation is able to treat about 3,000,000 fruits per hour (average number may vary depending on the size of the fruit).

 

 

 

UNITEC Blueberry Vision 2 technology literally revolutionized the way the cooperative treated its blueberries. Each blueberry is scanned and examined as a whole, both inside and out, by sorting its quality extremely reliably and according to several parameters: internal quality, external quality, defects in shape, degree of softness , size and color. And all this - thanks to its high level of automation - to reduce labor costs and greatly increase the efficiency of the selection process.

 

 

 

Thanks to the high reliability and precision of Blueberry Vision 2, which sorts blueberries, ensuring the consistency and quality of the fruit in each package. The brand image has improved and the final result is such that it can seize new business opportunities and new markets, difficult to reach before.
