Packaging

Once it reaches the specific request for the establishment, we start to prepare the product for subsequent packing.
Firstly, the plums are washed and then they will enter to a instantized line.

 

a) If plums with stone are requested, they will be instantized and then submerged into potassium sorbate. Afterwards, the fruit is carefully sorted and then packed.

b) If plums without stone are requested, after they are washed, they are instantized. Then the stones are taken out. Afterwards, the fruit is carefully sorted, submerged into potassium sorbate and then packed.

Once the basic checking is carried out by the company staff, the polypropylene bags are filled with dehydrated plums and then packed in cardboard boxes of 5 kg., 10 kg, and/or 12.5 kg, depending on the client’s request.

However, if the client wants, the bags can be filled by a machine with bags of de 100 g., 200 g., 250g and 500 g respectively. The bags are then placed in cardboard boxes. After this process is finished, the product can be loaded and transported to its final destination.

It is worth mentioning that the company has the following brand names in the international market: "DOTTORI".
