Tomato specialities handling system

In the handling line for tomato specialities, Bogaerts greenhouse logistics has developed next modules:

Box/crate pusher

The harvesting cart drives into the pusher unit. The boxes/crates are then pushed off the rollertrack onto the portal table.

A scissor pusher can be used to push empty boxes/crates onto the harvesting cart.

From destacking unit to weighing stations

A gripper picks up the boxes/crates and places them on a conveyor belt. This conveyor belt distributes the boxes over the weighing stations where employees weigh and pack the tomatoes. The number of weighing tables depends on customers’ needs.

A destacker can also be used as a stacker to stack the empty crates.

Turning tables

Turning tables can be used to accumulate, grade and inspect packed or unpacked products. They are available with or without grass.

From pre-stacker with turn station to palletizer

After inspection, people can put the packed tomatoes on the collection belt conveyor, from where they can go to a pre-stacker with turn station followed by a palletizer. These modules stack boxes/crates in layers and move the layer formation to the pallet.

Modular belt conveyors, roller conveyors

Different lengths/widths possible.

A handling system is modular, always custom made: depending on the needs/desires of the customer and the available space in the packing hall. Together with the customer, Bogaerts greenhouse logistics always finds the best solution.
