Cucumber Sorting & Post-Harvest Solutions

Specialized Technology for Long & Variety Cucumbers

Cucumbers, especially the long European varieties, present unique challenges in automation due to their length and sensitivity. Eshet Eilon is a world leader in cucumber processing, with dozens of successful projects globally. Our systems are specifically designed with custom-made cups and rollers to ensure perfect alignment and grading of elongated vegetables, maintaining high efficiency without compromising on quality.

Our Core Commitment: Zero-Damage Handling

The cucumber’s skin is thin and its structure is delicate. At Eshet Eilon, we leverage 50 years of engineering expertise to ensure zero-damage handling. Every step of our process—from the initial intake to the final packing—is designed with “Soft-Touch” technology. We apply maximum efforts to prevent scuffing, bending, or bruising, ensuring your cucumbers arrive at the market with the firmness and fresh appearance consumers demand.
