The KETE16 automates the process of placing punnets and clamshells into cases, trays, boxes and crates.
It was developed at the TOMRA Field Research Centre in Hamilton, New Zealand and integrates seamlessly to match the speed and capacity of the fastest filling machine, the CURO16.
It is capable of matching the capacity of the CURO16-head Fill by Weight, and has been designed to be easily and quickly set up and change between package sizes and formats.
The unique design on the KETE16 serves to pick up and place clamshells into the tray while avoiding the risks inherent to suction methods that can open lids and compromise the product.
Solution for the packing industry
Manual case packing is a strain on space, lacks consistency, and requires too much labor.
The KETE16 is an excellent solution for the packing industry as it removes an unnecessary contact point and provides certainty that you will deliver consistent product at speed.
