Fill the labour gap with Āporo Robotic Produce Packer

The robotic technology of the Āporo Produce Packer delivers a practical and user friendly solution to get produce to market quickly and efficiently. The focus of the Āporo makes one of the most labour intensive functions of the pack house more efficient and everything about this machinery is designed with the end user in mind. It’s easy to use, runs efficiently with minimum staff involvement and is easily installed or retro-fitted into existing production lines.

The output of the Āporo Produce Packer is impressive, packing up to 120 pieces of fruit per minute under optimal conditions.

Packing reliability and accuracy is improved from infeed to fruit orientation and allows the setting of presentation preferences like high-colour side of the fruit to be displayed with greater consistency than by human input.

Āporo is supplied either as a single-belt unit or a double configuration and uses suction cups for delicate handling and accurate placement of fruit into trays without damage.

A minimum amount of operator training is needed because of the well designed and intuitive touchscreen interface of the Āporo Produce Packer. Not only that, but the performance of the packer can be monitored remotely if needed.

The Āporo Produce Packer stands out from the crowd and won the UPL Technology Innovation Award in 2022
