GP Graders News

GP Graders will once again be a prominent exhibitor at PMA Fresh Summit.

The summit, to be held this weekend in Anaheim, California, marks the global launch of our new AirJet® grader for cherries, cherry and grape tomatoes and other small produce such as sprouts, radish, table olives, small potatoes and onions.

GP Graders are proud to announce the appointment of Julio Pino as Operations Manager of GP Graders Chile Spa. Julio Pino Iturriaga is a professional Industrial Engineer with an MBA from the University of Chile. Julio spent the last 10 years working with Andes Service and Copefrut with a special focus in cherries projects.

Despite a very difficult Californian cherry season this year in both volume and quality, one major Californian cherry packer actually came out financially ahead. Rivermaid Trading Company of Lodi, California both increased the revenue earned from its cherry crop due to the size accuracy achieved and reduced their packing costs to 1/3 of what they were when using mechanical graders.

More blades, a new soft “wave” style belt, a clear see-through lid and adjustable finger movement to cater for long and short stem cherries. These are just some of the new innovations featured in GP Graders’ new model cluster cutter.

GP Graders is showcasing the AirJet® Cherry Grader, the world’s best defect sorter for cherries, at the Northwest Horticultural Expo in Yakimain WA on the 7,8 and 9th of December 2015.
