Back in the spring, we had a call from down in Australia. A well-known Australian mango packer — Deane Farms of Horseshoe Lagoon, Queensland — was looking for an optical sorting solution that would offer them speed and accuracy in optical grading without requiring weeks of staff training, lots of maintenance and at a reasonable price.

We proposed the Sidewinder.

After the machine was completed, we broke it all down and shipped it to Queensland. For the past few weeks, two of our top-notch field technicians (William and Gunnar) have assembled the machine, got it up and running and just finished some calibration sorts. You can see in these photos that the machine looks at home in its new locale and the Sidewinder is humming.

If you’re sorting mangoes…or avocados, bell peppers, cucumbers, small melons, onions or either hard or soft squashes…and need an upgrade to your lines that will save you time, reduce labor costs, improve productivity and give you an ROI in no time, take a look at the (now!) world-famous Sidewinder. With its unique rolling presentation and tight links with our industry-leading ID Technology, you’ll see more and sort smarter…which is enough to make anyone’s day a g’day indeed.
