We just finished setting up a new packing line for Mark and Jess Taylor at Irresistible Orchards! 🍎 This awesome system includes our new diesel-powered drying tunnel and a Sizer cup to prevent double-ups. The Sizer counts the pieces of fruit into each box, eliminating the need for hand packing. Another happy customer thanks to the KW team! ✨😊

A new line comprising a creep feeder, washer/singulator, and weight grader was successfully installed at Moonlight Oysters in Batemans Bay, NSW. The equipment effectively pre-graded freshly harvested Pacific oysters prior to their return to the flip farm on the river. We thank Jason Finlay for choosing Australian-made and owned equipment, supporting local industry.

Our latest bin dumper into water makes for gentle bin tipping of delicate produce. This installation was used by Harvest road in Carnarvon, WA, for sweet potato before the brush washer and belt and roller Sizer. This addition to the line increases productivity and minimise any product damage due to the full water submersion of the complete bin and then rotating the bin to ensure all the product is released from inside the bin. Saxon from Harvest road is very happy with the vast improvement this has made to the sweet potato packing line.
Can be used on all produce type such as apples, stone fruit, watermelon, pumpkin and avocado just to name a few.
