Onion Tech Alliance Builds Next-Gen Onion Facility

Click to listen to this article

Following a successful first project, a U.S. client once again selected Onion Tech Alliance partners Eqraft, Modesta and Symach to develop a new facility in Washington. The plant is fully automated, covering every stage from cleaning and grading to internal logistics, storage, packing and palletizing. Optical sorting is combined with maximum traceability and minimal manual handling.

Eqraft supplied the Eqrader™ optical sorting line, complemented by solutions for cleaning, packing and internal logistics. Shuttles, lifts and roller conveyors handle internal transport, replacing traditional forklifts. These systems operate seamlessly alongside the fully automated warehouse.

Modesta was responsible for active cleaning and the handling of residual flows throughout the entire process, and Symach ensured tightly stacked pallets and manages logistics towards dispatch.
