When every minute counts: automating cherry packaging for Garces
During Chile’s extremely short and intense cherry harvest season, automation becomes essential — and Garces knew it too. To keep up with the high pace of cherry production in central Chile, they implemented two Pattyn packaging solutions that transformed their workflow.
The first step was the automation of bag making and bag inserting in low cherry crates. Our solution not only delivers fast and perfectly positioned bags, but also offers strong cost-performance thanks to bag-on-roll technology. With the RAZIM-51 bag maker and inserter, Garces achieves high operating speeds, making it ideal for accelerating production during the short cherry season. In addition, the system allows for quick changeovers between different box sizes, eliminating long adjustment times and helping the line maintain momentum when every minute counts.
What makes the DS-41 the reference for cherry bag sealing?
After the cherry crates are filled, fast and reliable bag sealing becomes just as critical. That’s where the DS-41 automatic bag sealer comes into play.
Designed specifically for the cherry and fresh fruit industry, the DS-41 automatic bag sealer supports high-performance packaging operations by offering:
- High-speed sealing to keep up with peak production
- Guaranteed airtight bag closure for optimal product protection
- Automatic bag detection to ensure consistent sealing quality, even at high throughput
- Format versatility, allowing easy handling of different box sizes without compromising performance
The result is a stable, predictable packaging process that keeps pace with demanding production speeds - while fully protecting product quality.
