Winterwood Farms Ltd, based in Maidstone, UK, operates the world's largest dedicated soft fruit packhouse, handling 60 million packs of soft fruit annually totaling 170,000 tons. To integrate cutting-edge packaging automation into their expansive factory space, they partnered with Packaging Automation (PA).
With operations spanning England, Poland, and South Africa, Winterwood Farms Ltd is renowned as Europe and Africa's largest blueberry growers. Recognising the need to optimise packaging processes amidst rising demands, they sought PA's expertise.
PA introduced Syncroflex Pro and addressed Winterwood Farms' challenge of continuous operations across their vast facility. Custom solutions were explored to maximise efficiency without compromising quality. The trial of PA's Rev5 proved transformative, achieving up to 150 packs per minute with impressive efficiency and energy savings due to its fully electric operation.
This innovation positioned Winterwood Farms Ltd at the forefront of their industry, surpassing productivity benchmarks and ensuring future scalability. By embracing advanced automation, they reinforce their leadership in integrating technology for sustainable agricultural practices.
This collaboration means WinterWoods are now positioned for continued success, they exemplify how technology can propel agricultural excellence while meeting evolving market demands.
