19fbtechreview.comSEPT - NOV, 2019We understand their processing challenges and leverage our 42 years of experience in the business to manufacture solutions that work best for themto fulfill their customer demands," asserts Gorsuch. To elucidate further, Chris cites a case scenario where one of the clients in the juice industry spent a quarter to a half a million dollars developing a piece of equipment that fell far short of their processing requirements. Corenco identified the issue with the membrane of the press that was getting plugged due to pines of the apple, and worked on producing a coarser grind. The team developed a technology that shreds fruits finely into discrete particle sizes, which led to significantly higher yields. "With such significant yield improvement, our equipment pays for itself and delivers a rapid return on investment," says Gorsuch. Machines that are built to last The uniqueness of Corenco stems from its quality of equipment and custom engineering; the company has developed machines that are built to last. The equipment is manufactured like a Tank but of food-grade stainless steel. Of the first five machines ever sold in the early 1980s, three are still in daily production today. Some of these products have been supplemented with new motors, screens, and rotors, but the underlying machine continues to work and perform seamlessly. "My father used to say that most of these machines will outlive him. As it turns out, he has been quite right. Today, even I am compelled to believe that a lot of these machines are going to outlive me. That was precisely my father's aim; he wanted to create something indestructible," says Chris.As a company that is continually sweeping up new and novel applications into its portfolio of customers and products, Corenco has no plans of slowing down. They continue to be a customer-driven firm, serving different product lines instead of catering to just a few industries. One of the next significant steps is to integrate pumping with its feeding equipment and feature control panels that manage both the grinder and the pump. "As new products and applications are pioneered and tested, Corenco works with potential and current customers to build and modify our machine to best fit their needs," concludes Gorsuch.
