Robotic Direct Produce Handling, Case Packing Machinery & Palletizing Equipment

Quest specializes in manufacturing automation equipment for the produce industry. With robotic automation solutions for vegetable and fruit producers, these systems ensure that produce is packaged according to safety standards and regulations.

Primary packaging for produce requires precision and great attention to detail. The Quest Quik Pick QP100 primary food handling solution provides an automated system that can load, orientate, stack, and group products into a variety of primary packaging machines. The QP100 series is designed to grip hard-to-handle produce items with care so that the product isn’t damaged. Quest also offers the QF100 Quik Fill Primary Tray Loader for the produce industry which is designed to automate the filling of compartment trays. This system allows an operator to personalize tray filling patterns for each specific product: whether it’s fruits, vegetables, nuts, cheeses, protein, or snack foods. This is all completed in a USDA compliant environment that adheres to safety and sanitary standards.

Quest also offers automated secondary packaging solutions for the produce industry. This starts with the Quik Pack QP200 robotic case packer. The QP200 series is a robotic top load case packer optimized for produce in flexible packaging. It uses the vision system to identify, locate, and track incoming products on a conveyer. The products are then placed into a case with precision to create the operators preferred pack pattern.

Once the case is packed, the Quest Box Bot QB300 series robotic palletizer automates the palletizing process. These palletizing solutions are available in stainless steel washdown-rated designs, perfect for environments exposed to sanitary chemicals. This is perfect for produce and endless other industries. Eliminating the dull, repetitive task of stacking boxes from your labor requirements adds value and offers a strong return on investment.

When it comes to food manufacturing, Quest’s robotic packaging solutions add precision, customizability, and speed throughout the packaging process.
