Our client is a fast-growing fresh produce processor based in Jordan, specializing in pre-packaged salad mixes for supermarkets, restaurants, and catering businesses across the Middle East. With increasing demand and growing concerns about hygiene and labor shortages, the company sought to automate its manual vegetable processing workflow.
The Challenge
Prior to reaching out to us during the 2024 Mid-Autumn Festival period, the customer was relying heavily on labor-intensive processes, which posed multiple issues:
Inconsistent cutting quality, especially for leafy greens and root vegetables
High water consumption with poor cleaning effectiveness
Time-consuming manual drying processes
Lack of food safety control, especially regarding pesticide residues
They needed a compact, efficient, and hygienic solution to improve their throughput and product consistency without dramatically increasing operational costs.
Our Solution: A Tailored Salad Processing Line
Based on the client’s raw material mix and processing volume, we proposed a fully integrated Salad Production Line, including:
Vegetable Cutting Machine – Adjustable blades for slicing lettuce, cabbage, carrots, and more into uniform sizes
Bubble Washing Machine – Air-bubble and high-pressure spray cleaning to remove dirt, sand, and pesticides
Vortex Washing Machine – Continuous tumbling action with ozone sterilization to ensure food-grade sanitation
Centrifugal Drying Machine – Fast, efficient drying of leafy greens without damaging texture
Inspection and Packing Tables – Final visual check and convenient manual packing area
All machines were built with SUS304 stainless steel, meeting HACCP and CE standards.
The Results
Since commissioning the line in early 2025, the client has reported:
Production efficiency improved by 60%
Water usage reduced by over 30%
Product consistency and shelf life significantly enhanced
Labor requirements cut by nearly 40%, allowing reallocation to quality control and logistics
Additionally, the client received positive feedback from retail buyers, noting better appearance and longer-lasting freshness.
