Produce arrives wet, graded or ungraded, and no two pieces the same size. The station moves it from a belt into a tray, a crate or a bag without bruising it.

The work is seasonal and the line runs hard for a few weeks. Downtime inside that window costs more than the station did.

Variability sets the design. The tool has to hold the smallest and the largest piece in a grade without a setup change, which means compliant contact faces rather than a fixed jaw geometry.

Then the wash-down. These lines are hosed daily, so the body is sealed and the faces are food-safe and replaceable at the station.

Grip force is set low and proven on your product, because the failure here is a bruise rather than a drop.

Compliant tooling on a fast arm, fed by transfer with buffering, so a stoppage downstream does not back the crop up on the belt.

A full spare set of contact faces ships in the crate and changes inside a break rather than a shutdown. Before the season starts we run the line at rate with your product.
