Packaging procedure for fruit or vegetable produce graded by size

摘要

An operator is located at the packing position which is at the same level as a tray (2) which receives produce of predetermined dimensions from a calibrator (1). The operator manually loads the produce from the tray into a packing case or into the hollows of a packing sheet (9) arranged in the packing case. When full, the packing case is then placed onto the exit conveyor (3). The operator who loads the produce also forms the packing cases at the same position. They are manually formed using a jig (6) from a sheet blank (5) of cardboard or corrugated cardboard that is pre-cut or pre-creased.
