Cherry & Cluster Tomato Handling Solutions

Maximum Hygiene & Gentle Handling for Premium Tomatoes

Processing cherry and cluster tomatoes requires a high level of sanitation and extremely delicate handling to preserve the fruit’s integrity and shelf-life. Eshet Eilon provides specialized packing line solutions designed to manage the high-speed demands of cherry tomato production while maintaining the highest standards of food safety and cleanliness.

Our Core Commitment: Food Safety & Zero-Damage Handling

Cherry tomatoes are prone to splitting and bruising if handled roughly. Leveraging 50 years of experience, we apply maximum efforts and specialized engineering to ensure zero impact damage. From the receiving stage to the final carton, every conveyor and transition point is designed with “Soft-Touch” technology. Our goal is to ensure that your tomatoes reach the market in perfect condition, with their skins intact and their freshness preserved.

The Stainless Steel Advantage: Superior Sanitation

In the cherry tomato industry, cleanliness is paramount. All Eshet Eilon handling systems are constructed from high-grade stainless steel. This provides a massive advantage for growers:

• Easy Wash-Downs: Designed for rapid and thorough cleaning to prevent bacterial buildup and cross-contamination.

• Corrosion Resistance: Built to withstand the moisture and acidity levels often found in tomato packing environments.

• Hygienic Design: Open-frame construction that minimizes “trap points” for debris, ensuring a sterile processing environment that meets global food safety protocols.
