What began in 2023 as an intensively tested pilot plant delivered such convincing measurement results and fruit quality that the FDC model has become a true standard. At COBA, too, the system now ensures reliable top quality in sorting operations.
MELINDA - C.O.B.A. (Denno)
Higher yield in sorting!
What did we do?
Heavy soiling and sooty mould on the fruit are a thing of the past: the COBA cooperative in the Non Valley (Melinda) relies on the innovative FDC (Fruit Disease Control) model washing system. The system protects fruit health, ensures clean apples and delivers significantly improved sorting results.
Synergy that works: GREEFA & FELDERER
Behind the FDC cleaning system lies the combined expertise of two strong partners:
- GREEFA supplies the powerful, gentle brushing machine.
- FELDERER contributes to the FDC model with an advanced nozzle system and tailor-made water treatment for optimal hygiene, clean process water and targeted disease prevention.
The benefits of the FDC model at a glance:
- Spotless cleanliness & fruit protection: reliable removal of sooty mould and dirt as well as effective control of fruit diseases (Fruit Disease Control).
- Higher sorting quality: better grading of the fruit in optical and quality sorting, resulting in higher yields for the growers and the producer organisation.
- Maximum efficiency: a field-proven system combination for the gentlest fruit handling and economical water consumption.
