Optical Sorting Solutions Boost Production Capacity
The Bühler Group, a UK-based provider of food processing and optical sorting solutions, further reinforced its role in ensuring excellence in vegetable processing with the installation of additional SORTEX optical sorting equipment at Westfro, the family-run Belgian producer of frozen vegetables, herbs and fruit.
Located in one of the best vegetable growing centers in Europe, Westfro has an annual production capacity of 95,000 tons, and for more than 40 years, has specialized in minimizing the time between harvest and processing in order to preserve the optimum level of vitamins, minerals and fibers in its vegetable products for both retail and foodservice.
