Packing

Innovative packing technology employed at the d'VineRipe® glasshouse has been purpose-built by world leading product and handling systems supplier, Viscon, of Holland, under the direction of Perfection Fresh.

Perfection Fresh drew from its experience operating value-add facilities around Australia to source two packing lines - the first of their kind to be used in glasshouse production in this country.

The packing lines comprise an automated bulk line for produce weighing up to five kilograms and a pre-packing line for quantities up to one kilogram. The bulk line can produce 25, five kg trays a minute while the pre-packing line can process 84 packs of 500g a minute. Up to 40 people are employed within the glasshouse's packing department during peak periods.

Produce is checked, weighed, labelled and flow-wrapped before being packed and sent to cold rooms in preparation for despatch.

All fruit processed at Two Wells is despatched to Perfection Fresh's retail customer's distribution centres and central markets in all Australian states.
