Hong Kong, A-1 Bakery Group
1. Please tell us about the background leading to this adoption
We handle a variety of fruits in large quantities daily for cake decoration and were searching for a compact and practical machine to reduce processing time. Mangoes, in particular, are very popular in Hong Kong, and we use them in large quantities. Experienced staff spent hours peeling them by hand. Due to manual labor, there was inconsistency in yield and speed depending on the worker, indicating a need for improvement.
2. Please share the decisive factors for adoption
After watching a video of ASTRA’s peeling process, we decided to adopt it considering its fast processing speed, compactness, and the fact that it can be washed with water. The ability to handle elliptical fruits like Philippine mangoes was also appealing.
3. Please share the effects of the adoption
Peeling mangoes is time-consuming, and previously only skilled workers could do it. Now, even part-time staff can perform the same task with the push of a button. Not only has the workload decreased, but concerns about repetitive strain injuries and accidents with sharp tools have also been reduced.
