Thanks to its short processing  time and anaerobic  environment, this machine is  extremely efficient in enzyme  inactivation. It is available in various versions designed,  engineered and manufactured  to process fruits with and  without stones.

EVEN MORE SOLUTIONS:  THE PARTNERSHIP WITH  NADDEOTECHNOLOGIES CFT Group has recently  announced that the Company  and Naddeo Technologies S.r.l (“Naddeo”) have entered into a partnership agreement  for the commercialization and  distribution of machinery and/  or plants for the processing of fresh products for end-users (so-called “fourth range”).  Naddeo Technologies, an  Italian player with over  thirty years of history in the vegetable processing sector, designs and manufactures  innovative and customized  solutions for producers  operating in the fresh  vegetables sector. Naddeo’s  portfolio includes a wide  range of machinery and  systems with high standards  of hygiene, providing the best  quality of the final product and  its longer shelf-life. This partnership will allow CFT Group and Naddeo to  work together in order to offer  machines for the selection,  chopping, washing and drying  of fresh vegetables on the  fourth range market. The  agreement with Naddeo is  integral part of CFT Group’s  strategy aimed to strengthen the competitive position of  the Group in the market of  processing of fresh products.

Alessandro Merusi, CEO  of CFT Group, stated: “The  partnership with Naddeo is  an important step for CFT Group’s development in the fresh vegetables market. The end-users fourth range  market is growing at a very  interesting pace (+5.2% in  2017 and +5.9% in 2018 according to Nielsen Market researches); this type of  products responds to the  consumers’ need to buy high  quality, ready-to-eat fresh  products. Being an industrial machinery provider, we pay  close attention to the trends of  the underlying markets since  they anticipate the needs of  our clients. For such reason, we decided to invest in order to grow  strongly in the market of fresh  vegetables processing, which  is part of the wider “Product Treatment” category including  complete solutions for fresh  and pre-cooked vegetables  as well as technologies for thermic treatment of packaged and non-packaged  products.

The partnership with Naddeo is part of such framework  and will allow us to join our  expertise and technologies  in order to strengthen our  commercial presence in  the market of vegetable  producers specialized in  the fresh products, in which  we already have many references, in particular in the “Sorting” division, thanks to  our subsidiary Raytec Vision.  Further synergies in this  market will arise from both the  “cross selling” of processing  plants for the production of  soups, sauces, pre-cooked  dishes and juices and the use of robotic technology applied to the fresh products,  which, together with the most  advanced vision systems, will  allow a significant increase of automation level in industrial processes”. www.cft-group.com
