Newest version of the company’s industrial avocado ripeness measurement system will be showcased at Fruit Attraction
Italian packaging specialist Ilip has developed a new version of its Smart Ripe Trolley, an innovative IoT (Intelligence of Things) system for monitoring the ripening process of tropical fruits in industrial settings.
The system, designed especially for avocados, will be unveiled at next month’s Fruit Attraction where avocados will feature as one of the star products of the fair.
Ilip said it will also be showcasing its latest sustainable packaging solutions in Madrid.
“Hortipack is a comprehensive range of professional solutions (trays&alveols, potholders for transport and cultivation, as well as propagation trays) for horticulture, made from recycled PET and PS,” the company said.
“With up to 90 per cent recycled material and fully recyclable products, Hortipack helps to reduce environmental impact and promotes a circular economy.”
The range includes the pre-cut alveols, which the company said are ideal for streamlining retail and transportation operations, and the R-PET propagation trays designed to be paired with XPS (extruded polystyrene) seed trays for sowing industrial tomatoes, radicchio, and tobacco. The combination allows for the reuse of XPS seed trays for several years (as they remain protected underneath and do not get contaminated), ensuring perfect sterility.
These new solutions will be on display at Fruit Attraction along with Ilip’s range of fresh produce packaging, featuring punnets, trays, and fruit nest trays made from plastic, bioplastic, and R-PET.
