Herbert Engineering is gearing up for next month’s PMA event, being held in California on October 2-5, and will be taking the opportunity to showcase its Auto-sort 2000 to an American audience, through its partner Exeter Engineering.

Herbert will also be using the PMA event to launch the newly developed 5m Barrel Washer.

This new washer, designed to handle produce including potatoes and carrots, has already been installed in several major processing plants throughout Europe and Herbert is confident that the product will be just as successful in the US and Canada.

Herbert also recently launched its new Auto-sort Remote Support Package. The package has been designed to provide improved technical support by remotely accessing the Auto-sort computer and solving problems remotely. More information will be available at the show.

Andy Hubble, export sales manager for Herbert, said "We are delighted to be launching our new Barrel Washer in America, and thanks to our close relationship with Exeter Engineering and their understanding of our technology, coupled with our world-renowned build quality, we are confident that we will enjoy a great deal of success in this new market."
