Dried fruit breaking solution arrives in the UK

A machine designed to loosen up dried fruit has been launched in the UK market.

The Concept Fruit Breaker System fits directly into production lines and is capable of breaking 25kg blocks of raisins in just seven seconds.

The machine was developed by Concept Engineering after one the of UK’s leading suppliers of speciality nuts, dried fruit and confectionery required a bespoke solution to improve efficiency. It features an agitator to break up solid blocks of dried fruit, a task that previously had to be carried out manually.

Steve Larkin, managing director of Concept Engineering, said, “This product started life as a bespoke design for a customer who was unable to find an off the shelf solution. Now the machine is going into production to meet demand.

“We are able to provide a full solution including agitator and conveyor system, designed specifically for the client’s dried fruits process. Our system speeds up production and produces significant savings in labour costs.”
