Carlos Alberto De Marchi, Industrial Director at De Marchi, emphasises the importance of the business partnership with TOMRA: \u201cWorking with TOMRA gives us several advantages. The main one is the increase in the quality of our product.\u201d Carlos explains that before the installation of the TOMRA 5B, the process was: \u201ccompletely manual, but now the TOMRA sorter has meant a great advance, not only in terms of resource management but also, economically. Thanks to the use of this technology, we have not only seen a plausible increase in profitability, but we have also experienced significant improvements in the food safety of the product. Manual work requires constant concentration on complex repetitive tasks, so it was becoming increasingly difficult to carry out correctly. The tasks are made easier by the TOMRA equipment, which also manages to increase the reliability of the sorting process considerably.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n After installing the TOMRA machine and working with it in the processing of various types of fruit and vegetables, De Marchi\u2019s feedback today could not be more positive: \u201cAutomating our line has resulted in a 30% increase in productivity and greater safety for our products. These achievements would have been impossible to achieve with our old manual process. In addition, we have managed to improve the profitability, reliability and agility of our processes to achieve higher standards. We greatly appreciate the exceptional personal support we receive from TOMRA through various channels, which makes a real difference to our operation,\u201d says Carlos Alberto De Marchi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jo\u00e3o Medeiros, Commercial Sales Director TOMRA Food Brazil, says: \u201cOur collaboration with De Marchi is key in such an important sector as fruit and vegetables. De Marchi is an innovative company with a strong presence in the national and international market. It is a privilege to provide a cutting-edge optical sorting solution to one of Brazil\u2019s leading companies in this sector.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n As always, TOMRA and the customer worked closely together. Jo\u00e3o Medeiros explains: \u201cTOMRA designed the solution together with De Marchi, paying close attention to detail because their product range is very wide and required a comprehensive solution capable of supporting all their product lines. The demonstration of the machine at the modern test centre at the TOMRA Regional Centre in Santiago, Chile, was also key to the success of the project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n TOMRA 5B: Versatile and focused on productivity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The key benefits of using the TOMRA 5B optical sorter are the assurance of maximum food safety, higher quality product sorting, increased production line efficiency and simple operation. This translates into greater consistency in product quality and allows employees previously engaged in sorting to be reassigned to other important areas of the production line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jo\u00e3o Medeiros comments: \u201cWith the growing demand for innovative food sorting technologies and the need to meet ever-evolving consumer expectations, the TOMRA 5B machine has been breaking down barriers in the Brazilian market. It has proven itself in a variety of applications, particularly in the minimally processed fruit and vegetable segments as well as frozen pre-fried potatoes. The optical sensor-based technology automates the food sorting process, increasing both quality and productivity on the production line. The machine ensures constant quality inspection, improving the safety of food reaching the end consumer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jo\u00e3o Medeiros looks forward to the continuation of the cooperation between TOMRA and De Marchi. \u201cWe are convinced that this is just the beginning of a strong and long-lasting partnership, as De Marchi is constantly looking for innovations, both in the industrial and agricultural fields. Our mission is to serve them with the utmost excellence, bringing our experience to future projects to automate new lines, always supporting De Marchi\u2019s success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n This confidence is shared by Carlos Alberto De Marchi, who explains: \u201cDue to the excellent results obtained and the expansion of new production lines, it is likely that we will make new acquisitions of machines in the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/smartcherry.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DeMarchiCustomerTestimonial_Picture1-768x1024.jpg\")
