Automatic Fruit Tray Forming Machine: Your Ultimate Solution for Efficient, Labor-Saving Fruit Packaging

In the North American fruit production and packaging industry, rising labor costs, inconsistent packaging quality, and tight peak-season production capacity have long been core pain points restricting operational efficiency and profit margins. For fruit growers, packaging facilities, and agricultural product processing enterprises, a reliable, high-efficiency automatic fruit tray forming machine is no longer an optional upgrade, but a critical investment to stay competitive. The FBN-1210X Automatic Fruit Tray Forming Machine, engineered for high-volume, precision corrugated fruit tray production, is designed to directly address these industry challenges, delivering full automation, consistent output, and measurable cost savings for your business.

Key Industry Pain Points We Directly Solve

1. Skyrocketing Labor Costs

Manual tray forming requires extensive labor for gluing, folding, and stacking, which not only drives up payroll expenses but also creates recruitment and retention challenges in a tight labor market. Our automatic fruit tray forming machine eliminates the need for dedicated manual operation throughout the entire production process: simply load pre-die-cut corrugated cardboard into the machine, and it completes hot melt spraying, paper folding, tray forming, and finished product stacking fully automatically. This cuts down labor requirements drastically, directly reducing your operational labor costs.

2. Inconsistent Product Quality & High Transit Damage

Manually folded trays often suffer from uneven gluing, misaligned folding, and unstable structural integrity, leading to tray breakage during shipping and handling, and resulting in costly fruit bruising and spoilage. The FBN-1210X is equipped with a genuine US VALCO MELTON hot melt spray system, ensuring precise, uniform glue application with every cycle. This delivers consistent, secure bonding and rigid tray structure, drastically reducing the risk of tray failure and fruit damage in transit, and protecting your product quality from farm to retail.

3. Unstable Production Capacity & Inefficient Output

Manual tray forming can barely keep up with peak harvest season demand, with output fluctuating wildly based on worker availability and fatigue. Our machine delivers a stable production speed of 1500-3300 pieces per hour, with output adjustable based on your tray structure and size. Whether you need steady small-batch production for specialty fruit or high-volume output for large-scale harvests, this equipment maintains consistent efficiency without downtime from worker breaks or shift changes, ensuring you never miss a delivery deadline.

4. Limited Flexibility for Diverse Fruit Packaging Needs

Different fruit varieties require trays of varying sizes, shapes, and depths, and many forming machines on the market lack the adaptability to switch between tray specifications quickly. The FBN-1210X features a modular forming mold design: simply change the mold to produce trays of different shapes and sizes, with wide compatibility for raw materials and finished products. It accommodates corrugated cardboard with a width of 450-1200mm, length of 450-1000mm, and thickness of 3-7mm, and supports finished tray dimensions ranging from 200mm to 680mm in length, 200mm to 530mm in width, and 70mm to 220mm in height, perfectly meeting the packaging needs of everything from berries and stone fruits to citrus and melons.

Standout Features for Reliable, Hassle-Free Operation

Beyond core production performance, the FBN-1210X automatic fruit tray forming machine is built for long-term, low-maintenance operation in busy packaging facilities:

Automated Stacking System: Finished trays are automatically and neatly stacked, with a maximum stacking height of 400mm and a load capacity of up to 80kg. This eliminates manual sorting and stacking work, streamlining your downstream packaging workflow and reducing additional labor input.

Compliant, Low-Impact Operation: With a noise level of ≤90dB, the machine meets North American workplace safety and environmental standards, creating a more comfortable working environment for your on-site team.

Stable, Robust Build: With a total weight of 2000kg and overall dimensions of 3080x1805x2065mm, the machine features a heavy-duty, rigid frame that ensures stable, vibration-free operation even during continuous high-speed production, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.

Standardized Facility Compatibility: The machine runs on 380V/50Hz power, with a total power of 10kW and an air source requirement of 120Litre/min, making it easy to integrate into most standard packaging facility setups.
