A Kent-based potato packer has significantly enhanced its processing capabilities with the installation of a new automated potato bagging and weighing system from Pace Mechanical Handling Ltd.

The upgrade features Pace’s advanced Automated Sack Presenter, delivering 100% accurate bag presentation and full Complete Bag Control (CBC) throughout the filling process. This ensures consistent handling, reduced manual intervention, and improved overall efficiency.

To further elevate the quality of the finished product, the system integrates a Smitsen DS9C twin-stitch sewing head, providing fast, durable, and reliable bag sealing. The combination of precise filling and high-quality stitching results in a consistently professional product ready for distribution.

This investment reflects the packer’s ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence, ensuring customers continue to receive produce packaged to the highest standards.
