Skybury is a family owned company producing tropical fruits from their 300 acre plantation in Mareeba, Qld.
Skybury are renown for being the best, and when it comes to their papaya packing, owner Ian MacLaughlin will not settle for any less.
Ian chose to work with Dyno NZ to develop an efficient papaya packing system and he has not been disappointed.
The main reason for Ian’s decision was that Dyno NZ were committed to fully understanding his requirements while maintaining the quality product that Skybury demand.
Water in-feed has been used to give gentle accumulation of the easily damaged papayas, continuous feed and manual grading were chosen to ensure quality of product.
Dyno NZ’s attention to detail is paramount, extending as far as the option of colour coding the conveyor at Ian’s request. A range of box sizes and types are used by Skybury and a constant supply required within easy reach provided a design challenge.
Ian’s ideas and concepts combined with Dyno NZ’s unique products and experience, have produced an efficient, workable end result ensuring the company received what was required.
Dyno NZ have enjoyed the privilege of working with Ian and are thankful for the opportunity to produce another successful fruit packing project. Skybury’s willingness to invest in automation from Dyno NZ proves their desire to own the finest equipment to go along with growing the finest produce.
