Quality and precision of the sorting but also improved hourly capacity with the line UNITEC which allowed the cooperative to be able to manage 100 to 140 palox of pears per hour.
Diamond Fruit Growers, a fruit and vegetable co-op in Oregon (United States), chose the 18-channel UNITEC line in July 2018 with Pears Sort 3 technology. The results of the first pear season are highly satisfactory.
The American fruit and vegetable cooperatives that worked the pears had always favored direct packaging lines with the conviction that the pre-calibration lines lacked delicacy and could therefore damage the fruits. But in July 2018 Diamond Fruit Growers built the 18-channel UNITEC line with Pears Sort 3 technology.
The level of reliability and precision in the quality classification guaranteed by the very high-resolution cameras in Unisoriting's Pears Sort 3 system, a division of the UNITEC group, and the ability to see the 360-degree pear, allows to achieve a great homogeneity in the quality of the pears, then in the final conditioning and between the various packings.
The reliability of the quality classification achieved by the UNITEC technology makes it possible to divide the fruits into categories, quality and homogeneous batch; each category has its own territorial or consumption destination. This accuracy of the classification, quality and homogeneous lot, much higher than the usual levels impressed retailers who found in end consumers a considerable increase in purchases.
In the United States, UNITEC has been operating for some time with two operational subsidiaries, one in Lodi, California, and the other in Wenatchee, Washington.
