The De-elevator lowers and stops just before it reaches the bottom of a bin or bag. When it is in position, produce feed starts.
Soft fingers on the De-elevator gently convey produce into the bin or bag, slowly adjusting upwards to maintain a minimal distance between its end point and the level of produce.
Once the bin or bag is full, produce feed stops until a replacement empty bin or bag is detected. On the dual-head model, the feed conveyor will reverse and fill the second bin or bag, allowing for continuous filling
Features
