<p><strong>Wenatchee, WA</strong><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">CMI and McDougall and Sons (It’s largest growing entity and one of its founding owners) are increasing its productivity, using its new Greefa sorting machine.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">Greefa is one of the world’s largest developers and manufacturers of sorting machinery for fruit and vegetables. Bryon McDougall, Director of Operations for McDougall and Sons states, “In just the short time we have been running on our new apple packing line we have already documented 30% more volume, or 2,400 more boxes a day.”<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">The companies state hailstorms are inevitable in the area and can affect growers at all levels of production, ultimately affecting the customers with fluctuating prices, adding another reason how the installation of Greefa has helped control prices. “Without Greefa sorting technology, our cost to our customer would be much higher this season. When sorting a compromised lot, we are able to maintain speed and salvage more fruit than we could by hand. At the same time we are able to maintain the integrity of our premium fruit,” states McDougall.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">To view videos, please click below:<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><iframe width="450" height="253" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/QUZeLNKPuow" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href="http://www.cmiapples.com" target="_new"> CMI </a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
