Cenfra has played an integral role in the expansion of a fresh gourmet salad grower. Cenfra offered simultaneous tray filing and harvesting, tray dispensing, integrating a seeder unit with a tray filler and various automated packing and transport systems.
Cenfra was able to highlight areas of the business where an automation solution could help to reduce risk, cost and improve productivity and quality. Living Salads accessed a GBP60,000 grant through the Rural Enterprise Investment Programme.
The grant was used to install the packing equipment at Living Salads and the company has now increased the speed and packing efficiency of the 'living salad' trays, and has reduced manual handling while adding value to the product.
