Vegetable and Fruit Equipment

This range covers the preparation equipment that sits at the front of any fruit or vegetable line, supplied as individual machines to processors across South Asia, shipping through Chattogram and Colombo and overland into Nepal.

It includes bubble and spray washers, brush and roller washers, destoners, sorting and inspection belts, abrasive and knife peelers, coring and destemming machines, dicing, slicing and shredding machines, pulpers and juicers, blanchers, spin dryers and dewatering equipment, and hydro coolers.

Front-end equipment is where most yield is won or lost, and it is also where buyers economise first, which is usually a mistake. A peeler removing four millimetres instead of two costs a percentage of every kilogram that passes through it for the whole life of the plant, and no downstream equipment recovers it. We size peelers and cutters against the crop and the finished specification rather than on throughput alone.

Jackfruit, mango, banana, potato, onion, chilli and leafy vegetables account for most of the processing we supply into Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal, much of it for dehydrated and frozen product aimed at export. Each needs different washing intensity and different cutting geometry.

Machines can be supplied singly to fill a gap in an existing line or as a matched set. Contact parts are food grade stainless, voltage is set for the site before build, and letters of credit are accepted on larger orders.
