Based on our clients' experience, investing in a blueberry line is profitable at production volumes above 200 tons of fruit per season. At this volume, the investment can pay for itself in as little as 2 years.

Case study

Ingleby Farms Libra
największych w Rumunii. Firma jest częścią grupy Ingleby Farms.

Various fruit species are grown at the Campo d'Oro farm. Blueberries have been planted there since 2010, and today the plantation covers around 200 ha, making it one of the largest in Romania. The company is part of the Ingleby Farms group.

One of our client's buyers required loose fruit, sorted by 14 mm caliber. Since sorting in the field significantly increased harvest costs, the decision was made to move the process to the packhouse.

Our engineers designed and implemented a line consisting of an inspection table, a hole calibrator, and 2 bulk packing units. The line has a capacity of up to 3 tons per hour (approx. 1.5 tons/hour per bulk weigher).

Thanks to our solution, Campo d'Oro was able to meet its buyer's requirements, strengthening its competitive position. Importantly, implementing the new solution had no negative impact on harvest efficiency.

What machines make up a line for blueberries shipped in bulk?

The blueberry packing line is designed according to the client’s needs, so its layout varies between individual installations. Here is an example layout of such a line:

1

Infeed conveyor

Linia do borówki wysyłanej luzem

The infeed conveyor is the first element of the line and the starting point of the automated packing process. Its key features are a wide belt for transporting fruit and adjustable height to match the level required by the sorter.

2

MXM BN.2 blueberry sorter

Linia do borówki wysyłanej luzem

Our proprietary sorter uses 2 2K cameras, enabling precise analysis of each fruit for size, ripeness, and softness. It can operate at speeds of up to 3 tons/h and takes up little space in the packhouse.

3

Inspection table

Linia do borówki wysyłanej luzem

A conveyor enabling manual sorting. Depending on the client’s needs, it can be used in the line as an element following the mechanical sorter.

4

Hole calibrator

Linia do borówki wysyłanej luzem

An optional element of the line is a calibrator that allows selection of the largest fruit. This gives the investor the ability to select premium-class blueberries.

5

Diverter conveyor

Linia do borówki wysyłanej luzem

The conveyor splits the fruit stream into two directions, allowing two packing machines to be fed simultaneously and streamlining the entire process.

6

Automatic box filler

The box filler packs blueberries into larger packaging/cartons. The device is characterized by high weighing accuracy, while also being very gentle on the fruit.
