Newtec answers key questions every customer has about investing in fruit & vegetable weighing machines. Find out more about high-quality and profitable solutions
Fruit and vegetable producers have a lot to consider when it comes to delivering the most high-quality and profitable produce to supermarkets, with matters extending beyond the fields and into the packhouses. Every packhouse looks different but something they all require is an optimal, cost-effective solution for weighing and packaging products.
For a growing number of packhouses, this looks like automation, with high-tech weighing machinery taking packaging operations to an unbeatable level of efficiency and accuracy. Nevertheless, there remain industry concerns when it comes to transitioning to automation. These include the machines’ cost, the accuracy of their portions, and whether they will handle the products gently enough.
Newtec, a leading business in fruit and vegetable weighing technology, is naturally familiar with these frequently asked questions. The company has delivered more than 20,000 solutions to various packhouses and helped countless customers fully benefit from the true value of automated weighing technology.
By incorporating flexibility and aligning with the food industry’s trends, Newtec machines are specially designed to improve their users’ competitiveness. With the cost savings that the weighing machines provide by reducing labour, lowering product overfill and increasing efficiency, more money can be invested elsewhere in your business. Furthermore, the fact that the machines are flexible enough to handle a range of different products and packaging materials enables companies to increase their product offering all from one machine, another clear competitive advantage.
Newtec weighing machines are designed to be very gentle with the product. For example, the Mini Weigher is an ideal solution for weighing small, fragile foods such as berries and pre-cut soft fruits. This is, among other reasons, due to its low drop height, which ensures premium quality products.
The company’s technical sales head Christian Villadsen explains this by saying: “We improve the way they handle their products, always focusing on quality, to make sure that the outcome is marketable and profitable end products.”
Newtec has weighing machines for all products and portion sizes, enabling it to match any request. The company knows exactly what it is that its customers are looking for and has developed a tried and trusted method to ensure each customer ends up with the right machine. Its state-of-the-art weighing machinery takes production to a whole other level, increasing accuracy, speed and flexibility while being built-to-last and simple to use, with intuitive touch screens and easy maintenance.
For Newtec, upholding the customer’s trust by sticking to promises is crucial and always involves delivering on time and providing reliable machines with excellent back-up. The company has found the right and skilled partners to form local service teams for its global client base. This means that dedicated service technicians are never far away to set up, upgrade and, when needed, fix the equipment for the entirety of its lifetime, with no language or cultural barriers. This paves the way for repeat business and long-term customer relations.
