Celery packer installs flow-wrap machines with extended infeed conveyor system

摘要

Duda Farms, Oxnard, CA, processes and packages fresh celery products for marketing to retail customers, foodservice establishments, and further processing operations. To meet accelerating demand for Duda's celery stick products, the company needed to re-evaluate its packaging operations. Plant manager Greg Tirado notes, "We had moved from hand-filling pre-made bags to automatic flow-wrap bagging several years ago. But as our volumes increased, we concluded that Delta 3000 LDR flow-wrap equipment from llapak had the engineering features we needed to better meet our increased capacity demand, reduce our labor costs, and improve our sealing consistency."
