LED Camera Sorting Boosts Quality For Vegetable Processor

According to Petri Pyysalo, technical manager at Apetit — a Finland-based producer of convenient fresh and frozen vegetable based products — “Good food is made from good ingredients, so the quality of the vegetables we use is the most important factor affecting our product quality.” This case study explores how the company implemented an LED camera sorting solution to boost the quality of its vegetable-based products.

Apetit Plc is a Finnish producer of convenient fresh and frozen vegetable based products that are healthy, tasty and based on locally sourced raw materials such as potatoes, leeks, carrots, peas, swede, parsnips, celery, beetroot, and spinach.

Its aim is to become the leading brand in frozen vegetable products, frozen ready meals and ready-to-use fresh vegetables.

Petri Pyysalo, technical manager at Apetit, says: “Apetit has worked closely with contract growers in the Satakunta region in south-western Finland for more than 60 years. Essentially, good food is made from good ingredients, so the quality of the vegetables we use is the most important factor affecting our product quality.
