The newly formed Northern California Nut Processing Group brings together four Duravant operating companies—Key Technology, WECO, PPM Technologies, and Multiscan—to deliver a complete portfolio of processing solutions for the California nut industry, as well as local sales and service support.

WECO has introduced the new 360Tek optical sorter for blueberries, a small, high-capacity sorter that can inspect up to 8,000 pounds/3,600 kilograms of berries per hour.

Duravant’s newly formed Food Sorting and Handling Solutions group includes operating companies Key Technology, Multiscan Technologies, PPM Technologies, and WECO. The group provides a range of optical sorters, specialized conveyors, and advanced turnkey processing line solutions.

WECO and Multiscan Technologies, both members of the Duravant family of operating companies, announced that they have entered into a strategic partnership to support nut, fruit, and vegetable packers and processors across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
