Earlier this month, Pamela Nugent, managing director of M&P Engineering, visited Sandy Shore Farms in Canada to catch up with Marc Wall and to see how M&P’s large onion peeling machine was operating.
During the visit, Marc showed Pam around his fresh cut facility. Along with peeled onions, Sandy Shore Farms also process various vegetables including aspargus, broccoli, bell peppers, cauliflower, cucumber’s, and eggplant for distribution throughout North America.
Mark stated “we are really pleased with the performance of the large onion peeling machine and we are actively looking to expand and grow our onion peeling facility. We are currently sourcing onions from different regions of North America so that we can supply our Freshcut customers with peeled onions all year round.”
When discussing how the M&P large onion peeling machine has been operating, Mark added “Using the large onion peeling machine has benefited us in so many ways. We are now achieving up to 1,600 lbs per hour since its installation and it is such a simple machine to operate and maintain that our entire team love using it and with no software to worry about it’s easy to troubleshoot when something does go wrong – which is quite rare actually! The machine is extremely reliable which is great for business here as reliability is really important for supplying our freshcut customers.”
