High-tech machinery for postharvest treatments: washing, fungicide treatment, waxing, storage, ...

CITROSOL does not just limit itself to producing an excellent range of products. It also develops, installs and carries out maintenance work on a variety of high-tech machinery used in various phases of the post harvest (washing, fungicide treatment, waxing, chamber storage, etc.)This is why we have an experienced and co-ordinated team of professionals who are able to find a solution for the most complex problems in the shortest time possible, according to each company’s needs.Citrosol products enjoy a recognised prestige among post-harvest professionals. They have proved their efficiency time and again with thousands of tons of the finest fruit. We rely on the back up of our own laboratory, specialised in the monitoring of different crops, capable of creating new and effective solutionsThanks to the latest technologies, Citrosol has designed an artificial visioning system which helps adapt the wax flow depending on the tons of fruit deposited on the conveyor belt.The main reason to develop this system was to achieve a correct wax application without regard of the quantity of fruit to be wax-coated as well as to reduce the use of wax and improve the application of fungicide formulas.This project is continuously updated in order to implement every improvement made in the system.The artificial visioning system has two video cameras and a set of lights that capture images from the conveyor belt and send them to the processing system. This one processes the information and calculates tons of oranges per hour. Thanks to these calculations and the data introduced by the user of the program, both the wax pumps are under control and the wax flow coming into them is adjusted.In order to protect recently-picked fruit, Citrosol has created special formulas which have a high performance level and reduce the losses by being applied by through the drencher. In addition, we are improving the traditional drencher system with the introduction of the auto-administration function which looks for the excellent effect of the chemical formulas to be applied as well as their friendly use.Source
