PRODUCTION SCHEDULE
PRODUCTION
PHASES
After years of experimental research we have developed a totally innovative production process. The optimization and the exhaustive control of all the process, from planting to customer delivery, ensure our objective: the highest quality. Food security and the traceability of the product are ensured in every stage of the process.
planting
The tree for planting can come both bare root and potted.
growing
There are several fundamental tasks in the cultivation of fruit trees, such as pruning and thinning, and each one must be performed at the right time. Fertirrigation is also of vital importance since it needs to provide the nutrition and irrigation necessary to obtain optimal production, naturally keeping any possible pests and diseases that may arise under constant control.
picking
Picking the fruit at its maturity point, and thus taking full advantage of the performance of the plant, is a very important necessity to take into account.
reception
Receiving is done in a warehouse after passing through quality control, in which the level of the product can be assessed. At this point the classification of each variety is done.
cold tunnel
Once in the warehouse they pass through the field chambers so as not to break the cold chain of the fruit and so there are no problems when it comes to handling.
quality control
In the same warehouse, the strawberries pass through two stages of quality control, one in reception mentioned above, and another after handling in which the packaging, labeling and weight are assessed.
packing
The product travels on conveyors to adjust the calibration and weight of each of them and then move on to be packaged and/or honeycombed, labeled and fitted.
palletizing
Once the boxes are completed, they are assembled onto a pallet, according to the format agreed to by the customer. Boxing and strapping machines are used to form the pallet. The boxes are labeled on the outside and a pallet label is affixed to control traceability.
cold tunnel
Once the pallets are completed they are transferred to the cold tunnel to keep them at 4ºC until transport arrives.
distribution
At the end of the whole process the transport picks up the agreed order, maintaining the product at its optimum temperature until arriving at its destination.
