Freshpack Handling Systems from ’s-Gravenzande (Sorma Benelux) offer a vertical packing machine, weighing and Vertbag-packing specially developed for sweet potatoes. The latest packing machine (Sorma BSS-134) has been adjusted in such a way, that a difficult product like a sweet potato can be packed vertically.
The sweet potato should not be damaged too much and the sharp points should not penetrate the packing. "Our Vertbag packing is, apart from the packing of sweet potatoes, also well suited to pack products, such as potatoes, onions, various kinds of citrus, French beans, bulbs and nuts." according to Romke van Velden of Freshpack.
Eosta has now presented its own Nature & More organic Sweet Potato Vertbag. Paul Hendriks, packing manager of Eosta is enthusiastic. "We try with this innovative 750gr packing to create a surplus value for our organic sweet potatoes in the supermarket display."
