When looking to expand their modern Tomato packing facilities, Maf Roda was the obvious choice with the installation of a modern complete bagging line comprising of:

 

·         Infeed Section with Crate Tipper

·         Sorting Table

·         Brushing Unit in By-Pass

·         2 Lane Pomone IV Sizer with 32 + 3 Outlets equipped with External Blemish Sorting System GLOBALSCAN 6

·         Associative Bag Filling System for 16 Bagging stations.

 

“ZZ2 is in a constant process of increasing productivity and efficiency through innovation and change. Therefore obtaining a bagging line to compliment the local market tomato bag offering was just one of the pieces in an ever changing playing field. ZZ2’s main drive for the project was to address overweight bags and reaping the benefits of increased productivity. After thoughtful consideration, we decided on a Maf Roda solution. The project was completed over a two year phasing period and complimented by the ability of the Maf Roda team working together with ZZ2’s engineering department to ensure a seamless and effortless integration within the packhouses as a value converter”
