The UNIQ range technologies were created exactly with this purpose: to allow the Packing Houses to respect the deal with the final Consumer.”These were the words of UNITEC President, Angelo Benedetti, who continued in this way: “The UNIQ range technologies allow to enhance the value of fruits and vegetables through a reliable internal quality selection system, so that they have no more secrets for us. We are confident that this will increase trust throughout the supply chain, from the producer to the final consumer”.Responsibility towards the Consumer, increasingly reliable technologies, fulfilled promises.With these cornerstones, which constitute, today more than ever, the supporting base and the ultimate goal, UNITEC Group appears for the 26th consecutive year at the Macfrut Exhibition, bringing with it all the innovation and excellence of its technologies for the quality selection specific for each fruit type. This will bring important changes to the selection process operated by the Packing Houses who adopted their installations.The UNIQ range technologiesPresented and launched into the international market during Fruit Logistica 2019, the UNIQ range technologies select the internal fruit quality with extreme gentleness and at the same time with unprecedented reliability and precision.Outcome of the continuous innovation pursued by UNITEC R&D department and 100% internally developed, the UNIQ range technologies allow to reveal every secret of the fruits they were designed for.Pears Sort 3Pears Sort 3 is an innovative Unisorting technology created by the UNITEC Group that detects the different quality classes of pears with extreme precision and reliability.It is a very versatile multi-analytical technology suitable for almost all types of pears.Just like all the UNIQ range technologies, Pears Sort 3 stands out for the total non-invasiveness of the selection process: the organoleptic characteristics of the fruit are completely preserved.On July 16th 2018, in one of the factories of Diamond Fruit Growers Packing House, located in Hood River Valley in the state of Oregon, the first highly specialized plant for the processing and quality selection of pears was inaugurated: an 18-lane line equipped with Pears Sort 3 technology."We have been very happy with the consistency of the grading.In fact we have gotten comments from our packers that see the fruit down the line.They are saying that it's the most consistent quality that they have seen ever." These are the enthusiastic words with which the President of Diamond Fruit Growers, David García, commented on the levels of uniformity of the final product and underlined how these impressed the packers who collaborate with his company.Thanks to the decision to adopt Pears Sort 3 technology to select pears quality, Diamond was able to guarantee supplies of Pears of Consistent Quality over time to the large scale distribution and to end Customers, which allowed them to achieve a strong competitive advantage on the market.A virtuous circle that brings concrete benefits to the entire supply chainThe protagonists of the UNITEC stand at this Macfrut edition are the UNIQ range technologies designed for apples, kiwis and plums as also Pears Sort 3 system designed for pears, even though UNITEC Group is also specialized in several other fresh fruit and vegetable processing and quality selection technologies: Cherry Vision 3.0 and UNIQ Cherry for cherries, Blueberry Vision 3 for blueberries, Orange Vision 3, Lemon Vision 3 and Mandarin Vision 3 for citrus fruits, Peach Vision 3 and Apricot Vision 3 for stone fruits, etc.For each of these fruits and many others, thanks to the constant research for innovative and highly performing solutions, UNITEC has developed highly technological systems that have boosted the whole system and have brought real and concrete answers to the needs of Packing Houses around the world.They have allowed the Packing Houses that chose them to achieve and guarantee their Consumers a final product totally in line with their expectations and of Consistent Quality over time (a product that presents homogeneity within the single package and that, after several purchases, is always consistent compared to the one purchased previously).“This type of product satisfies the tastes of the final Consumer constantly and continuously, generating that special desire that makes him choosing to repeat the purchase again and again” – affirmed President Angelo Benedetti.This preference granted by the Consumer gives the Packing Houses who chose UNITEC technologies the opportunity to achieve a competitive advantage, to improve their business and to increase their export opportunities even to very distant and particularly demanding countries in terms of required quality.“The Consistent Quality over time guaranteed by UNITEC technologies thus sparks a virtuous circle, which brings benefits to the entire supply chain, from the producer to the final Consumer” – concludes Benedetti.Pictures1 - Pears sort 32 - Uniq plum3 - Uniq apple4 - Uniq kiwi5 - Blueberry vision
