Kingdom Fresh Farms invests in new tomato equipment

In an effort to improve efficiencies to meet increased volumes, Kingdom Fresh Farms has recently installed new tomato sorting equipment.

The new machinery will provide not only labor and financial savings, but also increase output, according to the company.

The new equipment will be used for handling beefsteak and roma tomatoes and is expected to more than double the current capacity and offer substantial monthly operating savings, according to Kingdom Fresh Farms.

“We are very pleased with this new, state-of-the-art equipment that not only allows us to increase our daily volume, but to improve our bottom line so we can focus on quality and new business,” said Guillermo Martinez, general manager. “This line provides for an improved product flow providing less stress points on the tomatoes which reduces the potential for bruising allowing us to offer even more consistent quality.”
