Visar optical sorters<\/a> use an advanced camera system which will allow us to fine-tune grade specifications, ensuring no good carrots go to waste. Where our previous grading systems required a considerable amount of manual sorting and inspection, the new Visar sorters will sort crop automatically, ensuring a more consistent and accurately sorted end product. This will ultimately increase the percentage of saleable crop, resulting in an even better end product for our customers, including leading supermarkets, whilst maximising our yield for other markets too.\u00bb<\/p>\n\u00abWe are proud to wash, pack and distribute all of our products from one site, ensuring we can control all aspects of production. Tong Engineering really looked at our aims and objectives for the new sorting facility and have custom-designed an advanced system that meets our requirements, all within one of our existing buildings on site. We are very excited about the capabilities of our new sorting facility from Tong. I’m looking forward to seeing more of our carrot crop going to good use, and in doing so, minimising waste,\u00bb added Mr Poskitt.<\/p>\n
\u00abThe new Tong line at Poskitts is one of the largest and most advanced of its kind in the UK,\u00bb said Charlie Rich, Export Sales Manager at Tong Engineering. \u00abWe have worked with M H Poskitt Ltd previously to supply other handling equipment for the farm, so our existing relationship meant that we were able to work very closely with Guy and his team on this large-scale project to design it to their exact requirements. The intelligent controls and advanced camera sorting systems integrated within the facility will give Poskitts even more capabilities to achieve an exceptionally high quality end product, and this really reflects their position as one of the UK’s leading carrot and vegetable producers.\u00bb<\/p>\n
The new carrot installation is due to be in full production for Poskitts’ busy carrot harvest and processing season this Summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
