2009 Chile Testing Season is Underway!


M-TEC engineers are currently knee deep in chile... literally.  The green chile season is underway and engineers are testing multiple different types of pepper de-stemming machines.  The compression machine that was tested in 2008 has been installed at a Cayenne processing facility for full scale tests and 7 new green chile de-stemmer prototypes have been built and tested.

More information about the Chile De-Stemming project M-TEC is working on can be found here.
