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.
