Fresh Apples
Westernport Coolstores cultivates 200 hectares of orchard which produce an average yearly crop of 10,000 half tonne bins. Fresh fruit is kept in refrigeration or Controlled Atmosphere storage to allow orderly marketing year round. Our packing line is equipped with a flotation tank where bins are submerged into chlorinated water and float to the elevator, thus eliminating the possibility of bruised fruit. It is transported along rollers to be washed and waxed. The fruit is visually inspected before being packed into cartons. When palletized it is returned to cold storage ready for transportation in refrigerated vehicles to our customers. On-line trained quality checkers carry out inspections on packed fruit.

Diced Apple
Westernport Coolstores supplies some of the major pastry bakers and manufacturers of apple pies both locally and interstate with diced apple. Our specially constructed production facility is equipped with three of the most up to date apple peeling machines with a capacity to peel and core up to 100 apples per minute each. Our colour sorter ensures total uniformity of product, with automatic elimination of any peel, core, or seed that may still be attached to the apple pieces.

Sliced Apple
Following much the same process as the diced apple, our sliced apple is peeled and cored, then pushed through slicing cutters before being blanched and packed to customer requirements.

Apple Sauce
Our apple sauce is heat treated and sieved to customer requirements.
