## Frequently asked questions

**Can a tomato line and a jam line share the same plant?**
Yes. Reception, pasteurising and filling units are partly shared, so the tomato line runs in season and the same investment produces jam and fruit preparations for the rest of the year.

**Is installation and commissioning in Morocco included?**
Yes. The supply covers delivery, mechanical and electrical installation, commissioning, capacity verification and operator training on site.

**Is the equipment compliant for export to the European Union?**
Equipment is manufactured in Italy with a CE declaration of conformity and food-contact materials; the technical file required for export and import clearance is supplied.

**How long does a project take?**
Usually 6 to 10 months from contract to performance verification, depending on capacity and the civil works carried out by the customer.
