The multi-million dollar project comes from collaboration between Compac Sorting and Van Doren Sales of Washington. Compac will provide three 12-lane sorters with Van Doren Sales providing peripheral and infeed equipment to process more than 42,000 cherries per hour.
"This is a huge vote of confidence in our new optical sorter" says Dave Buys, Compac's Sales & Marketing Director. The market knows our InVision sorting system for apples and citrus and we've been able to leverage that in the development of this new cherry sorter, when customers understand the returns our technology provides their business they can easily justify the investment in Compac".
This latest project in California comes on the back of several successful cherry sorter sales and installations in New Zealand, Washington State and Chile with more than 66 lanes of Small Fruit Sorter now sold.
