KRONEN, new products ? new trade fair appearance at the Fruit Logistica 2017

The new Kronen booth A-05 in Hall 3.1 presents itself at this year's Fruit Logistica in a new, fresh design.At live demonstrations, visitors can get an idea of the latest developments. Kronen is demonstrating its versatile and modern processing possibilities for lettuce, fruit and vegetables, especially solutions for the automation and rationalization of processing processes, with a powerful range of new products as well as machines from the standard range. Kronen introduces the new SPIRELLO 150 as a highly remarkable and outstanding innovation. This vegetable spiral cutting machine is fully in in line with the veggie trend, as vegetable spaghetti is growing in popularity among consumers. This trend came from America via England and now reaches German consumers. With the SPIRELLO 150 large quantities of vegetables can be cut in decorative spirals in a quick and clean way (such as carrots, potatoes, pumpkins, radishes, beetroots, zucchini, celeriac etc.). With up to 680 revolutions per minute, the SPIRELLO 150 cuts vegetables within seconds into meter-long spirals, which optionally can be shortened with a length limit knife by interval switchings (7 levels).The machine is equipped with removable magazines, one of which can be fitted with the raw product while the vegetable in the second magazine is processed. This means that the SPIRELLO 150 can be operated without interruption!An optimal cutting result is achieved with a variable speed control in 7 steps depending on the nature of the product.The machine is featured with an automatic separation system between product and waste product. The SPIRELLO 150 scores with a very minimal amount of waste since the vegetable product is cut completely in spirals – except a small piece from the top.In addition, Kronen optionally offers a discharge conveyor for a fast and effective outfeed. For the first time at Fruit Logistica, Kronen presents the powerful GEWA XL washing machine for high capacities:*The new GEWA XL washing machine offers optimal washing results for large quantities of salads and vegetables, with low energy and water consumption. It is characterized in particular by these highlights:- Powerful and gentle washing using the continuous flow process- Compact design for processing large capacities, e.g., iceberg 5 t / h or babyleaf 1.5 t / h- Dwell time of 45 seconds- Optimal water flow in the piping and washing tub, thus increasing energy efficiency and avoiding a biofilm- Reduced water consumption during spraying and washing- No organic residue on the product due to optimized spraying- Extension of the product shelf life- Low carryover of water due to belt suction- Standard equipment with - Sand trap - Insect removal system with increased surface contact - Filter screen - WMS (Water Management System), centrally controlled filling and emptying- Individual discharge area- Wide range of additional functions and useful accessories Another highlight will be the Mango Peeler-de-Cheeker from ZTI-Mechatronics nominated for the FRUIT LOGISTICA INNOVATION AWARD 2017: This fully automatic machine peels the mango and removes the „cheeks“ in one cycle (30 up to 40 pieces per minute). Once the fruit has been positioned the machine takes the mango by the stone and it passes through the peeling and destoning stations.The mango is a very tender fruit and so demands special care in processing. Conventional peeling methods fail to provide the desired result, as the fruit is often damaged. Due to the unique processing method, the Mango Peeler-de-Cheeker holds the fruit not on the outside, by the fruit, but by the stone.During the subsequent peeling process the mango is peeled along the fruit. The result of this peeling method offers an “appearance to hand-peeled”, clean and smooth surface of the fruit. After peeling, the mango is de-cheeked, i.e. Customers and prospective customers benefit from the synergy effects resulting from the complementary portfolios of the Kronen cooperation partners GKS Packaging / NL-Son and ZTI Mechatronics / NL-Tuitjenhorn. The highly competent company trio provides comprehensive and integrated solutions for a wide range of applications; it enables significant cost advantages that customers can use optimally in their value chain. Almost traditionally, Kronen-booth visitors may enjoy the “live culinary event”. Delicious dishes will be freshly prepared by gourmet chefs Wolfgang Blum + Andreas Eigner!Their creative recipes were already published in this year's KRONEN calendar under the slogan "Fresh from the field to the table ...". From this variety, they present some of these recipes.Due to the innovative KRONEN up-to-date technique the preparation of these dishes will become a delicious cooking experience!   KRONEN booth at Fruit Logistica: Hall 3.1 – Stand A-05 About Kronen GmbHKronen develop and manufacture single and special machines as well as complete processing lines according to their customer’s requirement, all over the world – high-duty machines for washing, cutting, dividing, peeling, de-watering, drying, packaging.
