We package it — safely and professionally.
Perishable foods such as fruit and vegetables need protection to be presented fresh and visually flawless at the point of sale. Our packaging machines put your food in an appetizing spotlight at the sales counter. Unauthorized removal of individual products from the sales unit is prevented, ensuring accurate weight. The shelf life of the goods is extended, which significantly reduces waste.
Packaging fruit and vegetables combines freshness protection with gentle processing and appealing product presentation.
Packaging machines for fresh produce must process sensitive goods gently. Kallfass develops packaging machines specifically designed for exactly this requirement profile in the fresh produce sector, so that goods arrive fresh at the point of sale and can be presented in an appealing way.

Which packaging machine for your product?
Together we'll find the right solution!
Your product is unique. So are your packaging requirements. Our standard for film packaging is always the same:
"A pack has to be perfect!"
We act according to this principle. To ensure the packaging result is right in the end, a wide range of factors must be considered in advance. When choosing a suitable packaging machine, several machine types are generally possible candidates. But there is only one machine that, taking all factors into account, achieves the optimal packaging result. Together with you, we want to find exactly that Kallfass system.

Freshness protection and product properties for fruit and vegetables
Fresh fruit and vegetables are delicate. Berries, tomatoes, and salads are sensitive to pressure, heat, and mechanical stress — pressure marks form quickly and impair quality and salability.
Machine deployment in packaging fresh produce
Film wrapping machines take on central tasks in packaging fruit and vegetables: gently packaging individual products, bundling multiple portions, and secondary packaging for storage and transport. Film packaging secures bundled units and protects sensitive products from damage and dehydration.

Process stability in seasonal operations
Fruit and vegetable packaging is strongly seasonal. Harvest peaks require high throughput performance in a short amount of time — the packaging process must run stably and reliably during these periods. Automated packaging solutions ensure consistent quality even with changing products and tight cycle times.
Patented technologies and Swabian manufacturing quality make Kallfass machines fit for demanding seasonal operations — reliable, low-maintenance, and designed for high throughput.
Flexibility for different products and formats
Fruit and vegetables cover a broad product range — from small berries to apples to large-volume vegetables such as cabbage or pumpkin. Each product places different demands on infeed and packaging size.
Modern film wrapping machines enable fast format changeovers, allowing varying products to be economically processed on a single line.

FAQ
How does packaging help preserve freshness in fruit and vegetables?
Packaging films protect fruit and vegetables, extending their shelf life. For example, if a cucumber is packaged in film, it stays fresh for 3 weeks — significantly longer than without film. This, in turn, greatly reduces food waste and helps protect our environment.
How are pressure-sensitive products such as berries or tomatoes packaged by machine?
The fruit and vegetables are packaged in film within a suitable tray. Kallfass systems package the products gently and with reliable process control.
How can seasonal production peaks in fruit and vegetable packaging be managed?
Through packaging machines with high availability and fast format changeovers. Kallfass machines achieve availability of over 98.5% in multi-shift operation and are designed for use during seasonal harvest peaks.
Can different fruit and vegetable formats be packaged on a single machine?
Yes. Modern film wrapping machines enable fast format changeovers, allowing varying products — from small berries to large-volume vegetables — to be economically processed on a single line.
