CURO

Integrated blueberry solutions: post harvest to pack

TOMRA offers solutions for all varietals of blueberries, fresh to frozen. In addition to size, color, softness, bruising, decay, dehydration, stems, peeling and scarring, we also offer artificial intelligence for increased grading superiority across calyx, stem hole, and advanced defect detection.

You can be sure that all fruit that passes out through the KATO is good, and all rejected fruit is bad."

Customer story

Logofruits, Portugal

Logofruits started off about 4 years ago in Alcácer do Sol with 15 hectares of farmland. Since then, they expanded to include the Odemira region with an eye on a wider production and harvest season. Logofruits' state-of-the-art plant allows them to provide their customer base with quality products fitting every customer's specifications. Additionally, they also provide their services to third parties from Chile, Peru, and South Africa. Thanks to machines such as the KATO 360, LUCAi™, and CURO, their new integrated TOMRA Food sorting and grading line allows them to boost the automatization process of their sorting and packing.
