High-speed filling system for cherries and blueberries
When dealing with the high-volume packaging of delicate fruits like cherries and blueberries, maintaining the integrity of the product while achieving consistent fill weights is crucial. Traditional methods often result in product damage and are time-consuming, posing significant challenges in modern packing operations.
Achieve consistent fill weights and gentle handling
The CURO filling system by TOMRA is designed for the precision filling of punnets, cups, clamshells, or boxes with target weights. What sets CURO apart is its ability to handle a variety of filling options without tools and switch between packing options in less than five minutes. It is suitable for commodities such as cherries, blueberries, and tomatoes, ensuring product integrity with anti-bruise surfaces and minimal transitions between the hopper and conveyor. This filling system features precision control for short stroke clamshell denesting and stop assist for rapid clamshell belt deceleration, enabling it to pack up to 160 clamshells per minute. Integration with TOMRA’s sorting and grading solutions and the capability to use multiple CUROs in one turnkey line allows for simultaneous packing of different grades for distinct markets. The user-friendly touchscreen controls make it simple to change clamshell types and target weights with the touch of a button.
