October 5, 2023 – WECO and Multiscan Technologies, both members of Duravant’s Food Sorting and Handling Solutions group, will exhibit together at the Global Produce and Floral Show, October 19-21, in booth #4527. Providing advanced optical sorting systems and other vision inspection solutions, backed by industry-leading service, WECO and Multiscan help customers manage product quality, improve yield, increase line throughput and reduce labor requirements.

“Food growers and fresh packers are facing challenges from all sides, including fluctuations in crop quality due to extreme weather, worker shortages and shrinking profit margins. WECO and Multiscan’s popular equipment rental program addresses these problems by enabling customers to automate operations and better protect product quality while stretching their budgets by simply leasing high-quality equipment for the season,” said Jack Lee, Duravant Group President - Food Sorting and Handling Solutions. “During any harvesting season, every second of uptime is essential, so we support our systems with best-in-class, around-the-clock service to keep our customers’ equipment operating at peak performance.”

At the show, WECO is presenting their Sortivator fresh-pack line for cleaning and sorting blueberries. Each integrated line is customized for the customer’s application, incorporating systems for eliminating debris, removing soft fruit, sorting by color and/or by size, including “jumbo sizing” to remove larger fruit, if needed. Controlled from a single touchscreen control panel, the Sortivator fresh-pack line provides fast, gentle and effective blueberry sorting for big and small operations, whether the fruit is harvested mechanically or by hand.

Multiscan is showcasing their compact S30 optical sorter for cherry and grape tomatoes. Sorting the product by quality, color, size and shape, the S30 features SpinSort technology, which rotates each object 360 degrees for comprehensive inspection and thorough removal of target defects. Multiscan offers this versatile solution in a variety of different configurations to suit the customer’s application and floorspace requirements. By automating product sorting, the S30 maximizes line efficiency and minimizes labor while ensuring product meets quality standards.
