Juran's Hot Water Treatment for Cleaning Fruit & Vegetables is an innovative system that rids the produce of infectious bacterial, fungi, dirt and insecticide residues, greatly increasing the shelf-life of the produce.

Based on a hot water rinse, the procedure maintains the quality of the produce without introducing unnecessary chemicals. Since quality regulations demand that fruit and vegetables must be free of infectious bacteria and pestilent microorganisms before packing, as well as free of dirt, blemish or chemical insecticides, the Juran Hot Water Treatment system allows growers to pack and ship market-ready produce compliant with strict international standards.

A flagship product, the Juran Separator separates agricultural produce from unwanted spurious material – and does so at superior levels of efficiency.

Flexibility of design makes the system suitable for handling a wide range of produce including potatoes, onions, flower bulbs, and tomatoes, as well as citrus destined for the canning industry. The Separator achieves 95% efficiency separating out stones and clods of earth to obtain a shipment-ready batch of produce.

Juran Separators and the underlying technology are marketed worldwide through Grimme Concern (Germany), Climax (Holland) and Harriston Industries Inc. (ND, USA). The Separator system and drum technology hold European, American and Australian patents.

Fresh Defrost™ specializes in the design, manufacture and marketing of food freezing facilities as turn-key projects, providing all the required know-how and equipment for the establishment of a customized food freezing plant, either totally new, or added on to existing facilities.

The Fresh Defrost freezing technology was developed with a mission – to revolutionize the marketing supply chain of agricultural produce. There is a strong and growing market demand for out-of-season fruit all year round. With the new Fresh Defrost technology, growers and distributors can now provide a year round supply of fruit with a defrost quality far superior to anything previously achievable.

The key stage is the pre-freezing treatment which ensures that ice-crystals do not break cell walls to leave thawed out fruit limp and runny. The Fresh Defrost process now allows the freezing of such vulnerable fruit as strawberries, cherries, melons, all sorts of berries, and more, without damaging the integrity of the fruit. Whereas previously fruit that was frozen and thawed out was only suitable as an ingredient for food or beverages, now it can be thawed to nearly fresh-picked quality allowing its use and enjoyment as a fresh fruit year round. It is nothing short of a revolution.

The Hex-Air Management System streamlines the procedures of sorting, counting and packing. Thanks to its Bulb Management technology, it is uniquely capable of handling asymmetrical as well as symmetrical flower bulbs, and is equally suitable for strawberry plants, leaves, shoots and cactus leaves. Based on a microprocessor, keyboard and display, an electronic scale and pneumatic air jet system with an optional conveyor, the system is easily programmable. It sorts items by weight, keeps count of the number of items in each category, fills containers to a target quantity, and handles up to 3,500 units per hour.

Electronic/Optic Sorting System for Fruit & Vegetables is a high performance sizing and weighing system that sorts by size a range of fruit and vegetables including apples, pears, peaches, persimmons, tomatoes, avocados, celery, mangos, carambolas, and peppers. A modular system, users can install 2 to 8 sorting rows, each with a capacity of 1-3 tons per hour. Gentle handling and optional washing, brushing, and waxing ensure the high quality of the produce to be packed and shipped. These Juran systems are installed in several countries from South and Central America, to Africa and Australia.
