Automatic weighing and filling machine

TAG S.r.l. ARTENA STONE FRUIT

The TAG Artena 16-channel Weighing and Filling Machine is a fully automated, multi-product weigher designed for accurately portioning delicate small- and medium-sized loose fruit and vegetable products into trays.

This machine is integrated at the upstream end of the production line, positioned before the packing and labelling machines. Products are loaded in bulk onto the weighing machine's conveyor belt, then directed onto the feed conveyors via a dynamic hopper and placed into trays. Trays are destacked and sorted onto the indexed conveyor. The filling process occurs in four steps, during which the trays are weighed in-line using patented technology.

The machine is controlled via a touch-screen control panel, providing a comprehensive overview of its functions.
