Testimonials

Pearson Foods, an innovative fresh foods company located in Grand Rapids, MI, recently added the Hayssen ISB vertical form-fill-seal bagger to its fresh produce packaging lines, which also feature legacy Hayssen Ultima baggers.

After months of watching and measuring, Pearson determined that it can run the ISB bagger 18-22% faster than the other older machines on site.

Pearson Foods' new 19-year-old ISB operator—who had no previous packaging equipment experience—learned to effectively operate the machinery within 2 days of training, which was made even easier as the ISB can be switched to Spanish with the simple push of a button.

"The machine is intuitive," Nelson said. This combination of intuitive design and ease of operation makes the challenges presented by labor shortage and high employee turnover a non-issue.

Bag Filling & Palletizing Success Stories

East Point Potatoes | Produce Palletizing

East Point Potato, a successful family-owned potato packaging operation, has experienced steady growth since opening its doors in 2009, and today they package potatoes for upwards of thirty farmers on Prince Edward Island. Their packaging operations began as manual labor, but the increasing workload meant they needed to explore packaging solutions to help them meet demand. They turned to SYMACH palletizers.

"We've run this year from 7am until 11pm, five days a week." said Boyd Rose, co-owner of East Point Potato, speaking of the increased production the SYMACH palletizers have provided. "I would have a tough time finding crew that would pack bags on a pallet for those types of hours."
