Fresh-cut fruit is becoming increasingly popular however, because of its fragile nature, it is difficult to find machinery that was specifically designed to handle it, and the majority of it is simply adapted.
Turatti srl has just improved its range of machinery, as over the years the company developed a series of versatile machinery that can process a wide variety of fruit respecting its organoleptic quality at the same time.
"The Safefruit continuous flow steriliser can sterilise the peel and external surface of various fruits like melons, watermelons and pineapples. The system uses warm water as it can reach all the hidden parts better than steam and the treatment does not affect the taste, aroma or consistency of the fruit," explains Alessandro Turatti (in the photo above), sales manager of the group and chairman of Turatti North America.
The company also put together the world's first soft fruit processing line. "It is essential for example to clean blueberries, so we have used the patented Camel washing and treatment system combined with a more powerful version of the Dewatering Plus dyer. This enables us to obtain perfect ready-to-eat fruit snacks."
Frazer, the first strawberry stalk remover, was particularly successful in Berlin. The company has filed the patent request and the machine can also be used for radishes and integrated with other processing lines.
