Dried Fruit, Nuts and Seeds
Quality, precision and maximum efficiency for nuts, seeds and dried fruit
Nut, seed and dried fruit production calls for plants that deliver high productivity, extremely accurate dosing and rigorous quality control.
The natural variability in size, shape, colour and density makes it essential to adopt technologies that optimise every stage of the process, from sorting the loose product through to packaging and final inspection.
Key challenges
High product variability
Nuts, seeds and dried fruit have different physical characteristics that call for highly flexible, precise systems
Defects and impurities in loose product
Shells, small stones, plant fragments, discoloured or damaged products and other foreign materials must be detected and removed before packaging
Small products
Seeds and granular products need sorting and weighing systems that maintain high accuracy even with very small piece sizes
Weighing precision
Reducing giveaway is essential to protect profitability while meeting nominal weight
High production speeds
Lines must ensure operational continuity without compromising precision and quality
Food safety
Metal contaminants and other foreign bodies call for reliable inspection systems along the entire line

The machines
Tailor-made solutions. Real tests.
We test your product free of charge to identify the technology and configuration best suited to your application. Real trials, performance analysis and dedicated reports allow us to develop every project starting from concrete data and from the customer's specific production needs. First we test. Then we build the solution.
