Wedderburn - Cutri Fruit

Located 17,000 kilometers away from our headquarters in Vilamalla, in the southern hemisphere, is one of Giropes' latest production line facilities. This facility is in Australia, specifically in the state of Victoria, where Cutri Fruit operates. A company specializing in the cultivation, packaging, and transportation of stone fruits such as peaches, nectarines, and plums.

With over 40 years of experience in the agricultural sector, the company is known for its commitment to innovation and technology, enabling it to offer products with 100% traceability. It manages every stage of the fruit cycle, from planting to final distribution to the consumer.

Cutri Fruit already had established packaging lines and a downstream weighing system. However, in its pursuit of innovation and process optimization, the company reached out to Wedderburn, an Australian distributor specializing in weighing, packaging, and labeling solutions for the food industry. Wedderburn proposed an innovative solution: integrating the weighing system directly into the packaging line to ensure that the fruit crates remained within optimal weight limits.

Additionally, Wedderburn is renowned for building strong, trusting relationships with its suppliers and focusing on delivering customized solutions for each client. For this project, the Australian company collaborated with Giropes to provide the most suitable weighing system for these production lines.

The Giropes Solution

for Weighing Packaged Fruit

With the client’s participation, a weighing solution was designed consisting of 23 production lines, each equipped with weighing platforms connected to the GI410i LCD stainless steel indicator, which features IP65 protection, making it ideal for humid environments.

The process works as follows:

1- The fruit is loaded onto a conveyor belt, where a camera system and software classify it by category and size.

2- Once classified, the fruit is directed to a specific line, where an operator packs it into cardboard boxes.

3- The operator uses a scale connected to the Giscale software to weigh the box, adding or removing fruit until the target weight is reached.

The connection with Giscale is crucial, as the weight of each fruit box is the most important data to monitor. This weighing software ensures that each customer receives the correct weight and helps reduce returns due to underweight boxes. It also minimizes the amount of product delivered in excess, which, in large volumes, results in significant savings and increases profitability.

Additionally, the system allows for production analysis by line and operator, facilitating continuous improvement in terms of productivity.
