Exeter Engineering is a proud partner of Agrimech, one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of automated machinery solutions. As part of our commitment to quality and reliability, our staff is fully trained to keep Agrimech products humming, season after season. One of our Field Service Technicians, Gunnar Batchman, has just completed Agrimech’s intensive four-week service-training program. He was congratulated by Darren Smith of Agrimech, after passing with flying colors.

Exeter Engineering is happy to offer our customers Agrimech’s products for weighing, packing and palletizing. These innovative yet reliable solutions will speed your lines and reduce labor costs…all at a very attractive price point. The Zeus Palletizer (pictured behind Gunnar and Darren), for example, is capable of palletizing boxes, trays, bags, sacks, bales and nets quickly and easily. The Zeus is easily operated and maintained, and can work on a variety of product ranges, including potatoes, onions, and hard squashes…among others. No other machine on the market today offers the build quality, ease of use, and trouble-free operation that the Zeus does. And Exeter Engineering is the only company in North America can offer you the Zeus and any required after-sales service.

So if you’re in the market for some seriously fast palletizing equipment, please get in touch. We would love to help you find the perfect solution for your packing operation.


Potato Salad anyone?

The secret to the perfect potato salad? Premium potatoes. But have you ever pondered the journey those spuds take from field to fork? We have! For decades, we’ve been working with the folks who bring you that potato perfection, collaborating with growers and packers to make sure that you’ve got the quality spuds your summer salads deserve.

Sure, potatoes are tough, but bruising can turn your BBQ showstopper into a lackluster letdown. At Exeter Engineering, we work to prevent bruising and other flavor frustrating defects from your kitchen. From dirt and debris-busting cleaners, to AI-powered sorting systems like the AccuVision 360 that’d make NASA jealous, to gentle packaging solutions, we help ensure your potatoes are in tip-top shape.

So, next time you’re savoring that family potato salad recipe, spare a thought for the potato people — the growers, laborers, and packers — who make the magic happen. And remember your friends at Exeter Engineering, helping those potato people bring you spectacular spuds.

You’re probably hearing a lot of about Artificial Intelligence these days. It seems like every third news article talks about how transformative AI will be, how it will change the world.

It’s all future tense.

If you work in fresh produce, you know that the future is tomorrow but there’s work to do today. A prediction or forecast is only as useful as it is accurate. But something that works today…is accurate today…that’s useful.

That’s Exeter Engineering’s ID Technology, our Artificial Intelligence-powered optical grading suite. Using a combination of machine learning, advanced imaging, and a huge proprietary database, ID Technology instantly analyses images of each piece of your product and grades it according to the parameters you set. Want to change those parameters? Easy. ID Technology’s intuitive interface makes it fast and easy. It shows you live images, so you can see what your changes mean in real time, and it gives you predictions of how those changes will affect the whole sort. ID Technology also works with our industry-leading Hollow Heart Detector to grade for interior molds and cavities.

We are constantly improving ID Technology’s capabilities. Upgraded cameras featuring multi-spectral capabilities, better algorithmic performance, and more are coming soon. It’s available on all of our sorters…today. Don’t wait for the future to reap the benefits of Artificial Intelligence. Get in touch to see how ID Technology can help you today!
