Maf Roda launches most accurate system on cherry defect analysis of the market
April 13 , 2021
PRESS RELEASE
The latest developments made by Maf Roda in their Cherry systems improve Cherry facilities performance. Cherryway 4 and Cherryscan have become essentials for any cherry producer worldwide. The additional difficulties when working with cherries are the fragility of the fruit and the long peduncle. These two issues are 100% solved by Maf Roda lines.
The most important technical improvement in Cherryway 4 is the new and patented rotation system of 4 moves. A great novelty in the market never seen before and manufactured exclusively by Maf Roda. The new bicones system does the necessary moves to scan the complete surface of the fruit preserving the whole peduncle. This rotation is done completely automatically without any need of making mechanical adjustments. If that wasn’t enough, this new bicone also increases higher filling and production rates.
Our investment is focused on automation, internal analysis and total traceability control. They are the future
The lack of labor in the fruit and vegetable sector, as well as the restrictions on mobility since the health crisis broke out, are giving a boost to the demand for solutions providing greater automation in the calibration and sorting processes. Moreover, internal sorting technology is becoming more and more prevalent, according to Christophe Blanc, Managing Director of Maf Roda Ibérica. Spain is one of Maf Roda s most consolidated markets, although this world leader in calibration continues to grow, especially in South America, where it has just opened a new subsidiary in Peru.
Ease of integration and design means customers only need to deal with one company
More and more companies are investing in robotics and automated packhouse machinery, this may be to tackle labour shortages or cope with growing production volumes.
