POST-HARVEST AUTOMATION
FOR THE CLEANEST, DRIEST FRUIT 

Our client

CAJ van der Voort

Project scope

CAJ van der Voort runs a big packhouse operation, putting through hundreds of thousands of cartons of fruit every season.
When the company came to us  for a post-harvest automation solution for a new green field site, they told us handling, washing, drying and packing had to be done to the highest standard.

The CR Automation solution

The new packhouse development required us to integrate our equipment with another supplier who was based in the Netherlands. Trying to marry up two different systems is often a recipe for problems, but we worked out how to drop in a seamless solution, then tested it and made sure it was robust.

The results

CAJ van der Voort has a state of the art packing facility for apples. We gave the company a solution that ensured quality, reliability and throughput. The feedback has been that they’re getting the cleanest, driest fruit they’ve ever seen. Their investment is now paying big returns, maximising the yield that goes to market, and giving the business access to new high value markets.
