Compac, part of the TOMRA Food family, extends its box filling platform offering with the new-generation Gentle Box Filler+ model developed specifically for the most delicate produce. It combines faster throughput with the industry-leading gentle handling that is the hallmark of Compac's original box filler design. The significantly higher throughput translates into more added value for the packer's operation due to the greater productivity, efficiency and flexibility, as well as a smaller initial investment – with the gentlest handling.

Compac (gruppo TOMRA Food) e i suoi partner ICOEL e Sardas si sono trovati ad affrontare una sfida eccezionale: proprio mentre si preparavano a spedire e installare tre linee di selezione e confezionamento chiavi in mano in Turchia e una quarta in Uzbekistan è scoppiata la pandemia COVID-19. Nonostante la situazione, con paesi in isolamento, restrizioni di viaggio e interruzioni della logistica del trasporto merci, i quattro progetti sono stati completati nei tempi previsti. Questo risultato ha richiesto tutto l'ingegno dei team coinvolto nell'installazione, che è stato in grado di sfruttare la presenza globale e l'estrema flessibilità operative di Compac. Le quattro linee, dotate della piattaforma di selezione InVision2, sono riuscite ad essere operative per l'inizio della stagione delle ciliegie, per la soddisfazione dei clienti. Con le nuove linee di selezione e confezionamento Compac, le ditte turche Perla Fruit, Karaali e Unifrutti e Uz-Segang in Uzbekistan hanno chiuso la stagione in positivo, ricevendo ottimi feedback dai clienti finali.

Compac, empresa integrante de la familia TOMRA Food, junto con sus colaboradoras, ICOEL y Sardas, han tenido que afrontar retos extraordinarios en esta temporada. Y es que la pandemia del COVID-19 surgió cuando se encontraban en plena preparación del envío e instalación de tres líneas integrales de calibrado y envasado de cerezas en Turquía, y una cuarta en Uzbekistán. Para acabar los cuatro proyectos en los plazos previstos, tuvieron que sobreponerse a una situación nunca vista de países en confinamiento, restricciones de viaje y alteraciones de la logística del transporte de mercancías. Para lograrlo, fue necesario todo el ingenio de los equipos implicados en la instalación, que recurrieron a la cadena internacional de suministro y la inmensa flexibilidad operativa de Compac. Las cuatro líneas, equipadas con la plataforma electrónica de calibrado InVision2 de Compac, estuvieron listas y en funcionamiento justo para el inicio de la temporada de la cereza y cumplieron con las expectativas de sus respectivos propietarios. Gracias a sus líneas nuevas de calibrado y envasado de Compac, Perla Fruit, Karaali y Unifrutti, en Turquía, y Uz-Segang, en Uzbekistán, cerraron la temporada con un rotundo éxito, recibiendo comentarios muy positivos de sus clientes.

Durante más de 100 años, desde el nacimiento de la automatización industrial, los ingenieros han soñado con fábricas donde las máquinas realizan tareas de forma autónoma, sin la necesidad de participación humana. Hoy en día, varios pasos del proceso en las operaciones industriales se pueden realizar automáticamente, sin embargo, hay pocas líneas de producción que funcionan realmente así de extremo a extremo.

Compac, part of the TOMRA Food family, and its partners ICOEL and Sardas were confronted with unique challenges, as the COVID-19 pandemic hit just as they were preparing to ship and install three turnkey cherry grading and packing lines in Turkey and a fourth one in Uzbekistan. They overcame the unprecedented situation with countries under lockdown, travel restrictions and disruptions to goods transport logistics to complete the four projects right on schedule. This achievement required all the ingenuity of the teams involved in the installation, who were able to leverage Compac’s global supply chain and extreme operational flexibility. The four lines, equipped with Compac’s InVision2 electronic grading platform, were up and running for the beginning of the cherry season and they performed to the respective customers’ satisfaction. With their new Compac grading and packing lines, Perla Fruit, Karaali, Unifrutti in Turkey and Uz-Segang in Uzbekistan closed the season with resounding success, receiving positive feedback from their customers.
