We therefore take advantage of this natural resource and reduce our water consumption.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”ft-post-title”]<\/p>\n

This process washes, disinfects and clarifies our fruits with only minimal water consumption. Thanks to these technological advances, we have managed to reduce water usage in our treatment lines by 90%<\/strong> versus conventional systems.<\/p>\n

The CONTROL-TEC ECO L2 system integrates the most advanced technology to optimize and reduce the consumption of water, detergent and biocide in the fruit washing process. Process automation allows us to minimize losses and maximize efficiency.<\/p>\n

This technology is authorized by CAAE for the postharvest organic fruit certificate.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”39193″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”ft-post-title”]<\/p>\n

These practices are:[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”orange-list”]<\/p>\n

    \n
  • UniRAM\u00ae Low Flow Drip<\/li>\n
  • Irrigation uniformity<\/li>\n
  • Avoidance of evaporation losses<\/li>\n
  • In new plantations, we use the AZUD system (SDI):<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
