"The plant was already installed back in 2016 and was expanded in August 2022. The expansion enables KRONEN GmbH to meet a substantial proportion of the power requirements for its sites in Kehl-Goldscheuer and Achern itself.

The new additional panels were installed on the roof of the company’s building in Kehl in the summer. The building includes part of KRONEN headquarters, which is home to both its administration department and the production activities for the food machines that KRONEN manufactures itself and delivers to around 120 countries worldwide."

"A rare special occasion: within the scope of a major order, the company KRONEN in the German town of Kehl am Rhein is manufacturing four processing lines, one of which was recently demonstrated live to an audience of interested guests invited by KRONEN. The automated, networked line is the third of the four lines that make up the order. Two of the lines are already operating in the facilities of the fresh produce manufacturer, and the other two will be installed by the end of the year. The processing lines boast state-of-the-art technology and set new standards, above all with regard to hygiene. The demonstration offered the visitors from throughout Europe, Latin America and the US the opportunity to experience the innovative system close up and in action while it processed a product."

"Since the start of the cooperation between KRONEN and food technology organization SPRK.global in February 2022, several processing plants have become food rescuers by regularly sourcing high quality produce from the retail platform run by the start-up.

This not only has a positive impact in terms of resource and climate protection but also enables customers to benefit from produce available at a reduced purchase price."

"IT’S BEEN OVER TWO YEARS since visitors and exhibitors last met in Berlin, Germany, for Fruit Logistica, which has kept equipment suppliers from showcasing new developments in person. Given the goahead for 2022, the trade fair opened its doors and welcomed over 40,000 visitors. Kronen was there to showcase its GEWA AF and GEWA XL leafy greens washing equipment. In a recent interview, Russell Quandt, Kronen sales manager for the U.S., explained what makes the washers so innovative."

"For Kronen GmbH, April was dominated by the two trade fairs Fruit Logistica and Anuga Foodtec. A few weeks after the last fair, they are taking stock. "We are delighted to finally be back in personal contact with the industry after such a long break of events. It was clear that both exhibitions would attract even fewer visitors, but we are satisfied with our presentation and the contacts we were able to make," said the spokesman for the Kronen Board of Directors Stephan Zillgith. “The innovative salad processing line in the virtual showroom attracted particular interest, as did the Convenience Avocado Line, which we demonstrated for the first time at a trade show, and proven Kronen classics such as the GS 10-2 belt cutting machine.”

"Kronen showcased numerous new and existing produce processing lines at Fruit Logistica 2022 in Berlin in early April. Although attendee numbers were “noticeably lower than previous years,” Kronen was satisfied with its participation in the show, the company announced through a press release.

Visitors to its stand were particularly interested in innovations such as its fully automated, networked salad processing line, which was presented in the virtual showroom, and the live demonstration of the Convenience Avocado Line."

"Kronen is introducing a large capacity fruit, vegetable and leafy greens processing and advanced drying system line this year, the K850.

The system, which will be demoed at Anuga Foodtec in Cologne, Germany, in April, will feature the established K650 and new K850 large centrifuges. The drying systems are designed to process large quantities of cut lettuce, fruit and vegetables. For example, the system can process up to 1,000 kilograms of baby lettuce per hour."
