Bagging and Processing

Weening Brothers Mfg has designed & fabricated several bagging & processing machines for products such as carrots, potatoes, onions, spinach and more. Following are some examples of machines we have built. Some were designed and fabricated by Weening Brothers, while others the customer had a design in mind and we worked along with the customer to develop the machine they required.

Onion Master Packer

Increase productivity and reduce costs with the Weening Brothers Produce Master Packer. By eliminating the need for manual counting and placing of pre-packs in master bags, significant labour savings are achieved.

Rucking Machine

Rucking Machine

This machine is designed to reduce the labour costs associated with filling the cones for mesh baggers with mesh. The cone is placed on the platform, the rucking wheels are engaged and the machine is turned on. There are adjustable weights on the back of the machine that determine how tight or loosely the mesh is installed on the cone. Once the cone is full the machine automatically turns off.

Basic Carrot Cutter

This economical cutter was designed for the smaller grower/processor. The carrots are fed onto the feed in tray with a conveyor while 1 or 2 people orient and align the carrots into the flights with the butts facing out. The carrots are then fed through the blades cutting them into whatever size the customer desires. The butts are discarded out the side chutes and the cut pieces are separated on the discharge end according to each individual customers requirements. ( back to top )

Top and Tailer

Top & Tailer Cutter

This cutter is ideal for a medium sized grower/processor. The production capacity of this machine is similar to the Basic Cutter; however, no people are required to orient and align the carrots into the flights. The carrots are slid over to one side where the tip/butt is cut off, then tilted the opposite way and slid over to the other side where the tip/but is cut off the other end. The butt/tip is discarded out the side while the remaining carrot is cut into 2" or 4" lengths and discharged off the end. ( back to top)

 

Spinach Packing Machines

This automatic weighing & packing machine is a good example of a job where we worked closely with the customer to develop the machine he had in mind. When this machine was fabricated the customer came to us with a design for two custom spinach-packing machines to suit his specific application. He had basic drawings of what he was looking for and was closely involved through the entire project while they were fabricated and tested. ( back to top )
