Alva Verse Vruchten: ten years of peeling onions with Sormac
Alva Verse Vruchten in Hasselt, Belgium is a wholesaler in fruit and vegetables, and includes an integrated vegetable cutting facility operating under the name Fresja. Alva Verse Vruchten is both a distributor and a fruit and vegetable processor. Thanks to excellent cooperation with local growers and with the major Belgian auctions, fresh produce is supplied seven days a week. Their customer base includes retail organisations, care institutes and the processing industry. The produce is supplied unprocessed and processed. Pre-sliced vegetables are produced daily in the company's own, modern 2,000 m² cutting plant, which operates fully according to HACCP and BRC standards.
Alva processes a lot of onions, namely aromatic Spanish onions. The company already had a Sormac line dating from 1999 with a USM-1 for this purpose. After 10 years of faithful service, the company wanted to replace this machine by one with more possibilities and greater ease of operation. Thanks to years of experience in peeling onions, the directors Vanstraelen at Alva knew exactly what they wanted. It gives us great pleasure to see that practically all their ideas have been incorporated in the USM-X100.
