Natuber, a company that converts potatoes into a fresh-cut product, based in Vitoria (Álava), has entrusted the automated end-of-line of its production center to the Xolertic group.
The company that had already been developing its technological transformation through innovation and automation of all its processes, thus completes the adaptation of its production center.
Driven by the objective of increasing production volumes of a product with a limited commercial margin such as potatoes, and without forgetting the well-being and ergonomics of its workers, the company has integrated a Delta D-344 for bag packing and an industrial palletizing cell in its facilities. In addition to the entire product conveying system, and other auxiliary machines necessary for the forming and closing of the boxes, metal and weight controls, coders and wrapping of the finished pallets.
Together with the other innovations implemented at other points of the process, this solution has allowed Natuber to become a technological benchmark in its sector, maximizing the profitability of its product.
In addition, this implementation has enabled the company to continue its business despite covid-19, thus ensuring its production for hospitals, schools and nursing homes and cushioning the consequences of closures in the hospitality industry, one of its most important customers.
Natuber currently produces 10,000 tons of final product per year and employs more than 40 workers. Sales before the pandemic stood at €8.8 million (€7.5 million a year earlier). With this project, Grupo Xolertic consolidates its strategy of offering complete end-of-line solutions by combining the best technology of its different companies; Sinterpack, specialist in palletizing and integration, and Prodec, dedicated to case packing solutions.
This Xolertic campaign also automated the end of line at several leading food and pharmacy companies.
