OptiCept has now completed a first planned test with the juiceCEPT®? technology in one of Dole's production facilities. Very good results have been achieved.

In February this year (2023), OptiCept entered into an agreement with Dole in order to investigate how the CEPT®? platform can contribute to making Dole's production facilities more efficient. Now a first test has been carried out at one of their facilities in the Philippines with a Balder and the results are well within the goals set for the project.

The juiceCEPT®? technology has contributed to significantly increased extraction and in addition to showing good values regarding nutritional content and for quality parameters that define taste and aroma. The project is now moving forward in a commercial discussion.

Another paid test is planned as a basis for the final quote for the current production line, which needs up to 6 Balders. A Balder has a list price of EUR 350,000.
