Bühler breaks into hazelnut market with Turkish launch
Bühler has announced that it is to expand into the natural hazelnut market with the Turkish launch of its combination of sorting technologies. This commitment is set to transform the industry and help increase yield and efficiency, similar to levels already achieved by US almond, pistachio and walnut processors.
The decision to move into natural hazelnut processing is the next logical step for Bühler following the major success of its SORTEX E and SORTEX F optical sorters with BioVision technology, in the American walnut, almond and pistachio markets. Producers there are reporting increases in yield and efficiency as a result of process optimization, with natural hazelnut processors expected to achieve similar results once the new technology is available to them.
