The “C1LUX” weighing machine was born as a solution for those who wants to automatize the working process of tomatoes and vine tomatoes.
This new technology became commercially available in 2020, and enjoyed a great success in Italy as well abroad. It turned out to be very interesting for those who works with vine vegetables and fruits: cherry tomatoes, tomatoes of different varieties, grape and also long sweet peppers.
The line is developed at the beginning with a manual pre-filling of the punnet, which moving through a weight control, informs the circular machine of the best automatic weight correction.
Two operators have the task of manually charge a minimum product quantity on the cups of the machine, which in turn will be weighed and unloaded on the side of the punnet to be filled.
An operator at the end of the line will be in charge of positioning the fruit/vegetable inside the punnet.
The line can be automatized upstream with a punnets destacker. The unloading system of the product can be peronalized according to the customer’s needs:
Our machines can be downstream connected with any packaging machine. In the eventuality of a out-of-range weight detection by the weight checker, a pneumatic pusher will provide to expel the non-compliant punnet.
We have point out that the machine can improve up to the 50% of production; with a net giveaway reduction. It provides a guaranteed capacity of 40 punnets/minute, with 6/7 working operators.
The weighing machine “C1LUX” was born for cherry tomatoes on the vine, but today is already used for different varieties of tomatoes and, in modified versions, for dessert grape and for long sweet pepper.
