There is a great demand for advanced machines in the seed processing sector. Recently ZTI has developed a machine for opening and emp...
The Citrus Kiwi Peeler has been in our machine range for some years now. There are quite a lot of machines up-and-running worldwide. Before a machine goes in production and leaves our premises, it endures many comprehensive tests. But when the machine really goes into production, the true testing starts. Different sizes, types o...
Besides all food processing machines, we are also a supplier of machines for the flower growing industry. For example our Super Sealer. A machine that seals roses into a foil wrapper at an astonishing high speed. Pretty much all flower bunch lengths and diameters can be wrapped automatically in cellophane without the need for ad...
Our Mango Peelers are selling like hot cakes. By now forty of our machines are processing mangos worldwide. Our Mango Peeler differentiates itself from other mango peelers. It carries the fruit on the kernel and so prevents damage to the fruit. Furthermore the mango is peeled over the length and gives it a traditional 'look'. An...

The feed contains more and more high-quality ingredients to ensure that your four-legged friend stays healthy. After all, you want the best for your pet, jus...
The fruit placing into a machine will no longer be done by hand in the future. The pick and place robot scans, orientates and pick-and-places mango cheeks into a machine. For example from the Mango Peeler-de-Cheeker into the Fruitcutter; a machine that cuts mango cheeks in fingers or cubes. That’s how we are increasingly m...
The Citrus Kiwi peeler can now also be equipped with a gouge for citrus peels. This gouge makes long strings of, for example, an orange peel. The string is adjustable in width and thickness.

A popular product in the cake and pastry industry and marmalade. The thickness and width of the string can be adjusted via the LCD screen. After removing...
Cashew nuts are surprisingly tasty. Most people already know that. But they also have a number of characteristics that are less known. The nut grows under a pseudocarp or false fruit. The fruit itself is not edible, although the juice is sometimes being used and actually quite good. The nut underneath the fruit is even the more ...

Now that the Mango Peeler-de-Cheeker has been added to our standard machines, it is time for a new challenge. We are developing new machines continuously.

Stuffed with antioxidants, super delicious and healthy. Toss it through the lettuce, on a peg with some pieces of cheese and chicken or as a treat or just in a bowl to take away to work, school or on the road. The convenience food industry has also (re)discovered the grape. There is a lot of demand for salad processing companies...
The launch and commissioning of the MPDC was followed by many interested potential buyers. Because mangos can differ in size and shape and because they are processed in different grades of ripeness, some last adjustments have been made on plant. The results are now, after several months of production, positively found by us and ...
What a beautiful Rally, what a beautiful country and what an excellent organization.

The past year the ZTI Bilashaka Rally Team worked hard in their free hours to get the Land Rover Defender 'on point' for the Morocco Desert Challenge. Machiel Honig, "I think it's great to see how everyone's commitment to this project. It really is something we have done together within the company and has given us many beautifu...
Without our sponsors the ZTI-Bilashaka Race adventure could not have been possible. To thank everyone personally we have therefore organized a sponsor day.

Now the Citrus and Kiwi Peeler is in good company of a bigger brother. Scaling up the machine makes it possible to peel pineapple and melon. Of course with the same simple interface for adjusting the peeling thickness by touch screen. Because of the adjustable peeling thickness the most optimum yield can be earned. The Pineappl...
The Mango Peeler de cheeker processes up to 40 mangoes per minute. That is a lot; sometimes too much. For customers who process less mangoes we therefore still sell the successful, existing Mango Peeler. This machine peels 4 to 5 mangoes per minute. And that's a lot faster than manually peeling. Reason for our customer from Tahi...
What an extraordinary country is Qatar! A large sandpit, inhabited by 80% of non-indigenous population, with only one export product; oil.

The metal tension spring is in particular in the food processing industry, a troublesome component in a machine. When broken, it can shoot in excerpts from each other and particles can get into the processed product. Further, a spring is a very difficult part to clean. Food can get in between the spring and holds it tight. ZTI ...
Cars are getting smarter and safer every day. Take for example the airbag, the tightening of a seatbelt or the compression of a steeringcolumn during an impact .

The conveyor belt feeds the bunches of grapes into the destemmer automatically. In order to be able to regulate the speed of delivery, the destemmers are fitted with a...
Fruit and vegetables are now often orientated by hand and placed in a machine. That requires a lot of manpower and repetitive actions. The machines must be equipped with necessary protections to prevent human contact with sharp objects and knives in the machine. In many cases, this will be at the expense of the speed of processi...
Cashew nuts are popular the world over. Not just because they are so healthy, but also because they taste so good. Yet cashews can be difficult. Not least difficult to shell. The nuts grow on the cashew tree, just under a false fruit. The fruit is usually discarded, while the nut is prized. There's just one problem: getting it o...
Development rarely stands still: certainly not in the field of car tyres. TNO asked ZTI to build a 'carlab' so that they could test car tyre behaviour under differing conditions. Wireless sensors can be used to track the exact performance of the tyre and how it holds the road. The relatively small contact area between tyre and ...

A machine should not just be smart and do what it has to do, a machine can also be sleek. Functionality and aesthetics actually go quite well together. Together with an industrial designer, we looked at the appearance of our machines, and the first one is getting a make-over as we speak. At the same time, the logo and house styl...
