Fruit Packaging Machine

Fresh fruit products demand speed, hygiene, and precision, especially as consumer demand rises for ready-to-eat portions, sliced fruit, snack trays, and convenience packs. Your production line cannot risk oxidation, leakage, or inconsistent sealing that affects freshness or shelf appeal.

 

Our fruit packaging machine automates forming, filling, and sealing using an FFS (Form-Fill-Seal) platform engineered for soft, delicate fruit textures. It delivers reliable throughput, protects product quality, reduces labor, and improves shelf stability.

Your Challenges, Solved

Challenge: Fruit Bruises Easily During Handling

Solution:
Our fruit packaging machine uses smooth transfer motion and controlled portion dispensing for sliced fruit, cubes, berries, and mixed packs. This ensures structural integrity, reduces bruising, and maintains visual quality.

Challenge: Manual Packing Slows Production

Solution:
The integrated FFS system automates tray forming, fruit loading, and sealing, which eliminates bottlenecks and minimizes workforce dependency as demand scales.

Challenge: Shelf Life Is Short Without Proper Packaging

Solution:
Optional Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) reduces oxidation and deterioration, helping berries, melon cubes, pineapple chunks, and other fresh-cut fruit stay fresher for longer.

Challenge: You Need Multiple Pack Formats Without Frequent Changeovers

Solution:
Supports retail cups, trays, portion packs, and grab-and-go snack containers, all through one platform.
