Infeed
Compac's bell pepper infeed solutions ensure a gentle transition from bin or field box to the sorter. Options include:
Tipping
Compac has a range of manual and automatic tipping solutions designed for gentle handling of bell peppers onto the line.
Small Fruit Eliminator
Using a mesh-like conveyor or roller eliminator, under-sized bell peppers are redirected before they reach the grader.
Sorting & Grading
Central to Compac's bell pepper packhouse solution is our state-of-the-art sorting technology. Your production requirements and capacity will determine whether single, dual or multi-lane sorting capabilities are right for your packhouse. What differentiates our sorting solutions is our innovative, industry-leading Spectrim and InVision grading systems. This system reduces labor requirements and provides you with unparalleled sorting consistency and accuracy.
Weighing
Compac's weighing and pack optimization software maximises profits and delivers unsurpassed accuracy by meeting pack specifications and reducing bell pepper giveaway.
Color
Our intelligent, easy-to-use learning software enables intuitive recognition of produce types and will adjust grading accordingly.
Packing
Compac's packing solutions have been designed with bell peppers in mind, ensuring a particularly gentle transition and handling. We have many bell pepper packing solutions to meet the different needs of our customers including:
Bagging
Compac's manual or semi-auto bagging systems use unique optimizers to select the optimal combination of fruit across the sorter, ensuring accurate bag weights are achieved, with the minimum possible giveaway.
Volume Filling
Compac's automatic box filling machine has weighing options at the outlet of the sizer to fill boxes with a specific volume of bell peppers.
Carton Handling & Robotics
Reduce your labor requirements with our automated Carton Handling Systems (CHS).
The CHS tracks cartons from the sorter and distributes them to different destinations within the packhouse for palletizing and shipping. These intelligent systems can manage multiple boxes, products and destinations simultaneously. CHS integrates with the Compac Pack Printing system to automate carton labelling and data transfer to your ERP system for traceability, compliance and stock control.
Compac's pallet handling solutions improve efficiency. Our robotics ensure efficient and safe transportation of pallets around the packhouse, especially for high volume operations.
Data & Analytics
Compac's data and integration solutions track and record all bell peppers as they cross the sorter and move through the packhouse. This information can then be shared with other packhouse systems such as ERP, traceability systems and carton printing applications. Reports on the performance of your operation can be generated, allowing you to feed this information back into your operation, making changes to optimize efficiency. We also facilitate remote sampling of various grades and sizes of bell peppers for packhouse quality control.
