The machines produced by the Italian company process 7 billion fruits all over the world
CTI FoodTech, word-leading manufacturer of fruit processing machines, keeps gaining market shares in Spain. According to the latest data, CTI FoodTech gained around 95% of the market, becoming a landmark for most Spanish companies active in the peach pitting field. The unique patented innovations introduced by the company greatly contributed to this achievement. The most successful machines installed are the 320 APA, the 320 APA-E, the Repitter Vision and the CTI-800.
One of the newest products introduced by the company is the 350 APA-Vision, the most performing peach pitter made to date, thanks to a capacity and yield yet unrivaled on the market. The machine, which is a technical evolution of the 320 APA-E, is capable of pitting “freestone” and “clingstone” peaches at a mechanical speed of 350 fruits per minute. Moreover, thanks to the innovative and internationally patented PLC driven optical scan system, the machine can detect the correct position of the fruit and discard from the conveyor belt all incorrectly positioned fruits, recycling them into the feeder, with the result of improving the orientation efficiency and of reducing dramatically the presence of pit fragments.
“In a short 9 years we have built 200 machines, a considerable number – stresses CTI FoodTech’s CEO Eng. Biagio Crescenzo – The innovative technologies introduced on the market such as continuous orientation, optical scan and automatic handling, implemented in partnership with the big global players of industrial automation, allowed us to become one of the landmarks of the field. Today, our machines process around 7 billion fruits all over the world. We build our machines in a 4.0 plant and offer on the market 4.0 processing lines.
Our subsidiaries in Spain and Greece provide help in backing the companies on the territory, promoting the introduction of our innovations and easing our support service.”
“In the future CTI FoodTech will keep as a core business processing fruits with a pit, peaches, apricots, apples and pears – Eng. Crescenzo continues – Recently a new innovative machine joined our product range, our avocado pitter, the most performing in the world, on which we focus our efforts for a global development, in terms of expected orders and evolution of the processed avocado market.”
Thanks to a broad commercial reach on all international markets, CTI FoodTech is the second manufacturer of pitters for number of units installed around the world and amount of processed fruit. With a complete range of machines for each production need, CTI FoodTech is the only company capable of selling all pitting technologies.
Since its establishment in 1986, the company constantly invested in Research and Development, filing and getting over 100 international patents, which positioned it as a frontrunner in the industrial fruit processing field.
