Tamarillos from Colombia carefully weighed and packed in wicket bags

Customer Agro Fuente Verde

Location Colombia, Entrerríos      

Year 2026

We sold a complete line to Agro Fuente Verde in Colombia for weighing and packaging tamarillos, a product we hadn’t previously run on our machines. Therefore, we carefully conducted extensive test runs to ensure the process ran smoothly. In the video, you can follow the product step by step through the entire line, until it is finally neatly packed into 1 kg wicket bags. The products of Agro Fuente Verde can be found on the website of Frutex.

The line

The line consists of an M10i Ds multihead weigher and a Double Wicket Bagger, which can pack both 1kg and 1.5kg bags. The customer considered several options but ultimately chose the M10i Ds on Jarno’s recommendation due to its accuracy and suitability for this type of product. The Wicket Bagger’s filling opening and discharge conveyor are easily adjusted manually to the desired bag size, allowing for quick and efficient changeovers.

Manter in Colombia

This is the second project we’ve recently completed in Colombia. Earlier this year, we installed an AutoMesh at San Terra for packaging potatoes in 20 and 25 kg raschel mesh bags. With this new line at Agro Fuente Verde, we’re further expanding our presence in the Colombian market and demonstrating that our solutions are perfectly suited for both larger bulk packaging and smaller consumer bags.

Automation in Colombia

Colombia has been making a clear push towards professionalization in the processing and packaging of fruits and vegetables in recent years. Producers are increasingly investing in automated solutions to save labor, guarantee product quality, and handle higher volumes. While much of the packaging used to be done manually, we are now seeing a sharp increase in demand for reliable weighing and packaging lines that guarantee continuity and accuracy.

Our team is at your service.
