P625 Conventional Palletizing & Wrapping System 

Hinds Seed Cleaning, a family-owned business based in Hinds, New Zealand, specializes in seed cleaning and processing, serving a wide range of industry needs. Caring for their staff is a top priority for Brian and his family, so it made perfect sense to replace their manual pallet stacking with an automatic palletizer. This upgrade allows their valued team members to focus on more enjoyable, value-adding tasks while eliminating the challenge of finding seasonal manual labor. The installation of the net-weigh packing system has also improved packing accuracy, reducing the cost of product giveaway per bag. One of the biggest wins for Hinds Seed Cleaning has been the ability to operate the rest of the plant at a higher rate, now that the end-of-line palletizing bottleneck has been removed. This improvement enables them to pack on demand, providing their clients with greater flexibility up to the last minute.
