Hi Daniel, just a quick update.

The Visar is doing exactly what it’s supposed to! We’re already well into the winter season—and unfortunately, the quality of the carrots is “tricky” this year. It’s all the better that we don’t need extra staff to handle it or have to slow down the packing machines. Yes, there’s a lot of waste this year due to poor product quality, but the Visar sorts well. It keeps the Grade 1 carrots and neatly removes what doesn’t belong here.

Best regards

Hi Daniel – just so you know… :

This year, we’ve already had fields affected by the carrot fly…  Even in the summer, some fields already had many carrots with tunnels bored by the carrot fly… The Visar sorted them out really well… Now, we’ve already had a field with a lot of scab… there too, it’s doing a great job… Normally, problems don’t show up in the summer, but only in the winter, when the produce comes out of cold storage… But here, the Visar has already been able to show what it’s capable of in the summer… :  Very impressive… to see how it manages to sort out the good produce from such poor batches… No good products on the reject conveyor—it’s not worth having someone monitor it…  I hope it stays this way in winter… But for now, I’m very satisfied!

Best regards
