Vegetable processing technology manufacturer Sormac will be showcasing its high-precision vegetable and fruit processing equipment at a double round of shows this autumn in the US. Beginning with the Global Produce and Floral Show in October and then following on with Pack Expo in November, Sormac staff will be demonstrating the company's innovative machinery.
Having provided technology solutions to the full range of vegetable processors from small enterprises to some of the biggest names in the industry, Sormac's stand is one not to be missed for those within the fresh produce processing sector.
Center stage on the Sormac stand at Global Produce will be the company's knife peeler, part of the sought-after UP series, which peels long vegetables with ease such as carrots, parsnips and cucumbers. Ideal for fresh cut processors of all sizes, UP-4000 peels gently and with accuracy, offering speedy vegetable preparation with the minimum of wastage and high-end hand-peeled quality.
Also to look out for, Sormac's ever-popular slice and wedge cutter, the FS-3600 will be demonstrated at this year's show. This truly versatile machine offers the perfect solution to a broad range of processing needs, including the slicing, de-coring and wedging of tomatoes, onions, apples, citrus fruits, sweet potatoes and many more.
The machine boasts an output rate of up to 3,600 pieces per hour including half slices and sticks. Offering maximum flexibility, the FS-3600 can operate as a standalone machine, or it can be seamlessly integrated into a wider production line with for example a dipping solution for apples (to stop coloration of peeled product).
Along with the above knife peeling and slicing solutions, visitors to Pack Expo will have the opportunity to experience the latest version of Sormac's onion peeling machine, the hygienic USM-H100. Peeling up to 6,000 onions an hour, this highly convenient machine tops and tails the onions with precision, before blowing off the entire skin. Thanks to Sormac's air-saving technology the skins are removed effectively and precisely and without excessive use of air. The machine's hygienic design features full accessibility and easy cleaning thanks to its open frame surfaces, all stainless-steel parts including the motors, and the separation of the cutting and peeling sections. This all reduces the risk of trapped product waste and promotes microbiologically clean end products.
Troy Burns, General Manager at Sormac Inc., USA explained: "In supporting such a critical industry as the food sector, we know that reliability has to remain at the core of all we do at Sormac. We're excited to be sharing our technology at both Global Produce and Pack Expo and look forward to meeting with new and existing customers."
Visit the company at booth C-2001 at IFPA's Global Produce & Floral Show in Atlanta from October 17-19 and at Pack Expo in Chicago, Booth LU-8141 from November 3-6.
