Machinery and packaging for the fruit and vegetable industry

A deep-rooted history that anticipates your future

We satisfy the continuous evolution of the market
Our innovative spirit, maintained throughout our 50 years of history, has allowed us to become the only business worldwide able to offer the complete line of automated machinery for the post-harvest of fruit and vegetable products coupled with technical materials for packaging. Thanks to the cooperation of our 6 production sites and the know-how developed by all the various R&D centres, we can design and build entire Supply, Pre-sorting, Treatment, Optical Sorting, Weighing and Packaging, Palletising, Strapping and Tracking lines. The sale is just one of the very early steps in the relationship we establish with our customers; thereafter, our team of transfer and telephone technicians completes the group service with specialized after-sales technical support.
Environmental sustainability is our priority
Our R&D team, supported by the 4 production sites, allows us to create and offer the greatest choice of packaging in net and film available on the market. All the production processes are entirely verticalised and carried out in-house. These include: graphic development, the incision of clichés, flexographic printing, coupling, cutting, extrusion and weaving of nets, through to the design and build of packing machines. We develop more than 50 different packaging models for fresh fruit and vegetables, available in 6 different materials: paper, sormapeel, compostable, monopolymer, performing, film & flowpack and for the industrial segment. All our materials meet the requirements relating to food contact and are compliant with regulations governing good manufacturing practices.
We give value to your products
The heart of the whole processing plant is the optical sorting machine, as it assures our customers’ buyers constant quality over time, also guaranteeing a reduction in waste and a considerable increase in profits. In order to guarantee the best computational performance, each line of the sorting machine is controlled by 1 dedicated industrial PC that can process more than 3.7 GBytes of information in real time. Each PC with Linux system manages 9 video cameras that take 108 images per fruit at 15 fruits/sec., for a total of 1620 shots. The combination of all hardware and software components allows us to classify the fruit by: internal and external quality, colour, shape, diameter, density and weight, analysing the whole of the product surface 360°.
Constant, all-round commitment
The concept of sustainability is linked to the development process, where the resources, investments and technologies are focussed synergically on optimising the future. Sustainability is a complex concept that in order to be properly understood and correctly applied, must be divided up over three guiding pillars: environmental sustainability, economic sustainability and social sustainability. The Sorma Group operates according to these three cornerstone principles, with the ultimate aim of safeguarding the planet’s integrity and guaranteeing a better future for future generations.
