OverviewGentle Box Filler platforms accurately fill boxes and cartons of various sizes while minimising bruising and product damage. Available in standard Gentle Box Filler, high-throughput Gentle Box Filler+, and Weighing Box Filler variants, these machines are designed for packing delicate fruit and for lines that require accurate counts and weights.
Key benefits- Gentle and fast: Standard models typically fill 3–4 boxes per minute, counting individual pieces to meet specified packing counts.
- Higher throughput for delicate fruit: The Gentle Box Filler+ is optimised for very delicate varieties (e.g., kiwifruit, stone fruit) and can substantially increase throughput compared with the standard model.
- Space-saving layout: Increased throughput reduces the number of outlets required, allowing a shorter sizer and a smaller plant footprint.
- Reduced equipment and labour: Fewer fillers are needed for a given volume, lowering capital and operational labour requirements.
- Accurate weight control: The Weighing Box Filler variant verifies box weight to the specified target during filling.
ApplicationsSuitable for first-class packing of delicate fruit (e.g., kiwifruit, stone fruit), repacked or ripe produce, and processes where produce is handled in multiple stages (pre-grading then final packing). Appropriate where gentle handling, accurate piece counts and weight verification are required.
