Efficiently processing tropical fruit
Tropicaux in Guinea uses KRONEN technology to process pineapple and create high-quality dried-fruit snacks.

The company Tropicaux from Guinea, which specializes in processing and exporting dried fruit, uses machines from KRONEN GmbH to professionally process fresh pineapples. The company has invested in three manual machine solutions developed by KRONEN to optimize its production processes for high-quality dried pineapple rings for the international market.

Processing 20,000 kilograms of fresh fruit every day

At its site in Guinea, Tropicaux processes approximately 20,000 kilograms of fresh, locally grown fruit everyday, primarily pineapples of the Baron variety which are native to Guinea. The cut fruit is then processed further to create dried products, which are distributed worldwide to locations such as the US, the EU, and various African countries. To meet growing demands with regard to quality and efficiency, Tropicaux relies on machine solutions from KRONEN.

Efficiency and precision thanks to KRONEN technology

The company’s processing line uses three well-established KRONEN devices:

Using this technology enables Tropicaux to maintain a consistently high product quality. The machines improve the efficiency of its processing activities and increase its processing capacity.

By opting to use KRONEN machines, Tropicaux has underlined its commitment to investing in sustainable and reliable technology. The manual operation of the solutions makes its production activities particularly robust and low-maintenance and allows it to easily add further machines to the line where needed.

”Our cooperation with KRONEN enables us to expand our production capacities with a targeted approach while also improving the quality of our products,” explained Mamadi Diané, Co-Funder of Tropicaux.
