Design
The FBW clamshell filler is suitable for packing clamshells of such small fruit and vegetable types as blueberries, cherries, grape tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. With innovate features including automated infeed spreader and alternated step progression clamshell fills, the FBW is able to accurately pack clamshells at high-speeds of up to 120 clamshells per minute*.

Speed and Accuracy
The real strength of this machine is its speed and accuracy. It has the capability to pack 120 punnets per minute* and depending on fruit size it is accurate to 1 to 2 pieces of fruit 95% of the time.

Handling
A great deal of consideration has been taking into the handling of fruit and preservation of product surface. Minimal elevation transitions along with anti-bruise surfaces ensure that fruit bloom is kept intact.

Versatility
The FBW is able to fill any clamshell size from 4.4 oz up to 2.75 lb. Change over of clamshell types is simple and efficient - easily adjustable flights and guides mean no tools are required and the machine is ready to run again in less than five minutes. The FBW can also be converted from left to right hand orientation to fit with any future line alterations.

User Interface
The user interface has been designed with simplicity in mind. Using a touch screen monitor the user can easily change items such as clamshell type and target weight with the touch of a button.

Cleaning
The machine is built in stainless steel and particular care has been taken in design and construction to ensure the machine can be cleaned easily. A manual control function on the user interface enables all parts to run independently for cleaning.
