🌐Global Solution
Today, the world’s leading wild-caught and farm-raised shrimp processors in Ecuador, India, Vietnam, Thailand, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates rely on the SMART Sorter to optimize their operations and increase their profit per pound. Many of our largest customers are now operating their 4th, 5th, or even 10+ units—a clear sign of confidence in the system’s performance.
We are grateful for the trust and partnership of our customers, whose commitment to innovation has enabled us to reach this milestone.
"You can't achieve this level of perfection in manual grading or roller grading, that's for sure (talking about their SMART Sorter). At the end of the day, grading determines the profitability of this industry." Jose Thomas, MD Choice Group. |
💰Money Maker
It is now the new standard, replacing traditional roller graders with unmatched accuracy, efficiency, and profitability. Test after test, side by side, globally, the SMART Sorter continues to prove its value.
