Greentronics
RiteWeight In-line Conveyor Scale
Greentronics offers an easy and accurate method for tracking loads and weights by date, field, variety, temperature and cellar. New features added to Greentronics’ RiteWeight in-line conveyor scale are designed to automate harvest and storage data recording. Data are uploaded via an Android phone or tablet to the Greentronics cloud server for processing and reporting in near real-time. Maps and reports can be viewed, downloaded, shared or printed from anywhere. A range of reports detail how much crop is stored and where it was grown. 2-D maps show where crop is stored by date, field and variety. By including a crop temperature sensor with the scale, maps will provide a temperature profile for each cellar. Maps allow growers to easily complete traceability reports. Harvest and storage progress can be monitored remotely. Reports show inventory levels.
IPL Macro
Plastic Bins
IPL Macro’s farm-to-harvest containers and totes are specifically designed to increase efficiency and reduce waste for growers and packers. Macro specializes in heavy-duty bulk containers and totes that can withstand the daily pounding that harvesting containers typically receive, while carefully protecting the vegetables inside. The highly engineered bins protect produce and reduce damage in the field and during transport.
Macro containers have smooth, nonporous surfaces that are easy to sanitize and won’t trap debris, breed bacteria or absorb chemicals. Plastic bins are lightweight and have consistent tare weights, as they do not absorb liquid. Macro’s plastic bins are HACCP and GAP compliant and FDA approved. Rounded corners and smooth interior reduce the risk of product scuffs, cuts and abrasions. Ventilation slots throughout the bins improve airflow, and heat absorption is reduced, which helps keep produce cool and increases the shelf life and quality.
Lockwood Manufacturing
VACS Mobile
The VACS Mobile has been dubbed the “ultimate mobile cleaning machine” since its debut in 2018. Its ability to separate rock, dirt and other trash is unmatched. Plus, it is self-powered and extremely mobile, being mounted on a semitrailer. Equally as impressive is its Quick-Change table technology that allows growers to pick and/or change out cleaning tables based on their conditions. There are four table options to choose from, and the process to change tables is extremely easy.
Efficiency is crucial during harvest, and the VACS Mobile offers just that and then some.
