Fresh produce company Meade Farm Group, headquartered in Braystown, Co. Meath, has completed a €1.7 million investment in its carrot production facility. The business has been growing, packing and distributing premium quality potatoes, fruit, vegetables, salads and organics over the past 50 years.
In order to meet demand for its carrots, the company has just increased its throughput by over a third. The increased capacity has been achieved by UK-based Haith Group, which designed and installed a state-of-the art carrot grading and washing line at Meade’s facility in Lobinstown.
Taking six months to deliver, Haith’s full stainless steel line features two optical sorters, washing, de-stoning and polishing machinery. The new facility is capable of handling 12 tonnes of carrot per hour.
