A fully integrated weigh scale and bag packaging system designed specifically for fresh and frozen fruit is a new development resulting from a partnership between Automated Packaging Systems and BBC Technologies.

Automated Packaging Systems manufactures the SidePouch bag packaging system, machinery that automatically queues a horizontal row of pre-opened bags for loading products directly into them from an integrated weigh scale. Each bag is then automatically sealed and transferred to a packaging area. The SidePouch system offers bags in a wide range of sizes and with a variety of special features including reclosable zippers, resealable flaps, reinforced headers, easy-open perforations, tamper-evident seals and standup pouch designs. The bag design is matched to the system. The bags can be produced from a choice of several materials and preprinted with high-resolution graphics, text and barcodes.
