‘PITUFO’ BOX WEIGHER
Machine designed for the post-harvest treatment of citrus fruits and other fruits, designed to automatically weigh and fill smaller format boxes (Pitufo type), guaranteeing precision and agility in the preparation process.
The loose fruit arrives via a double-track upper double conveyor belt:
•A quick-discharge tarpaulin, which provides large quantities of fruit.
•A thin dosage canvas, which drops the fruit piece by piece until the exact weight is reached.
Both belts deposit the fruit in a hopper with a pneumatic opening system, which is located on the box conveyor line. Once the target weight has been reached, the hopper opens to fill the box, which then advances to a vibrator, responsible for settling the fruit inside and improving the final presentation.
The process is completed with a checkweighing by means of a conveyor with an integrated scale, where each box is verified. In case of minimal deviations, an operator can manually correct the filling, ensuring that all boxes meet the required standard.
