The Ishida Rotary Salad Filler is an automatic, high-speed solution for filling trays with salad products.

Packing salad into trays is challenging due to the fact that salad leaf has a free-flowing volume that can be up to three times the volume of the tray, which means the leaf does not naturally fit into the confines of the tray and easily spills over.

The Rotary Salad Filler automatically fills salad into preformed trays at high speeds up to 50 trays/min per lane on all pack formats, with minimum spillage.

The filler accepts preformed trays, which can be fed by hand or via an automatic denesting system. The filler then fills the tray via a combination weigher and tamps (settles) the product twice to ensure it is fully in the tray. Trays are then lowered at the exit of the machine to ensure all product remains in the tray.

The machine has been designed for market tray sizes from 140–450 g. Trays can be narrow or wide edge leading and the process is suitable for tray sealing, ultrasonic sealing or shrink banding.
