Production lines for the fresh produce sector

Kometos’ processing and production lines for the fresh produce sector

Among Kometos’ most well-known solutions in the food industry are probably the equipment and production lines used for meat processing and the manufacture of ready meals. However, the versatile equipment is also perfectly suited for the needs of the fresh produce sector.

From reindeer meat to the vegetable section

Kometos has gained recognition in the food industry primarily as a manufacturer and supplier of processing and production facilities for meat and fish industries, as well as solutions for ready meal dosing and packaging. The company’s story began in the 1990s with modular units developed for reindeer slaughtering and meat processing. Over the years, product development has been remarkable.

Today, Kometos’ equipment and production lines are widely used in various sectors of the food industry. Processing, dosing, and packaging machines can be found not only in the meat industry but also in ready meal lines, packaging of powder products, processing of shellfish, and, of course, in the fresh produce sector.

Strict requirements of the fresh produce sector

In the food industry, quality and hygiene requirements are always strict. Especially in the case of easily perishable fresh products, hygiene is an absolute key consideration.

To meet the strict hygiene standards, Kometos has developed innovative solutions, such as disinfecting the entire incoming air in the production facility. The structures used in Kometos’ production facilities are designed specifically for the food industry, taking into account the hygiene factors.

In food production, profit margins can be narrow, which is why it is essential to minimize waste in production. Kometos’ solutions are designed to keep product waste to a minimum. An efficient production line ensures that raw materials are not wasted during processing, and precise weighing ensures that the right amount of product goes into the package – not too much, not too little.

Lettuce and fresh produce processing solutions by Kometos

Case example: A lettuce manufacturer’s comprehensive solution from washing to packaging

Kometos has supplied a complete production line to a Finnish lettuce and fresh produce manufacturer. The line includes all necessary steps and machinery, covering everything from pre-processing of products to washing, drying, and packaging. The line produces cut lettuce, vegetables, and fruits for institutional kitchens and retail stores. The products are ready to serve or available as components for further use.

The factory has three production lines, the longest of which is over sixty meters. Together with an advanced operations control system, they ensure optimal efficiency and flexibility in production processes.

Product quality is ensured through microbiological, physical, and sensory tests. Thanks to the modern system, products can be quickly traced throughout the entire production chain, all the way to the end customers.
