Record Demand in the First Quarter of 2024 for Tong’s Popular UniFill Big Bag and Box Filler
In the first quarter of 2024, demand for Tong’s most recent model of their popular UniFill big bag and box filler hit a record high.
With Tong’s clever Auto-Touch HMI control, the sophisticated UniFill provides the softest filling of large bags and boxes, making it a high-capacity and adaptable crop-filling machine.
“The UniFill has always been a popular machine in our home and export markets. The latest machine, which now features easy-to-use HMI touch screen controls, has seen a surge in demand with vegetable producers looking to fill both big bags and boxes regularly,” Charlie Rich, Sales Director at Tong Engineering, mentioned.
The UniFill is a heavy-duty, unique design that has two lowering finger-flighted crop conveyors that cradle crop deep into large bags or boxes, assuring uniform filling of both and the gentlest handling.
“We have updated our popular UniFill so that its flexible filling capabilities can now be easily selected and controlled with our unrivaled HMI touch-screen control system. This means users can quickly change machine set-up, selecting their filling requirements from a wide range of custom-determined bag and box sizes as well as crop types. In addition, when coupled with integrated weigh platforms, the UniFill can be programmed to fill to weight, with the option to add data capture and recording facilities to improve stock control and crop traceability. Demand for the UniFill continues worldwide, with the latest deliveries destined for Turkey and the USA. The introduction of our proven Auto-Touch HMI control systems across our box and bag-filling range is bringing enhanced control alongside intelligent diagnostics and safety modules, resulting in exceptionally efficient and high-performance filling solutions. Ease of operation and reliability are key to maintaining profitability throughout the vegetable handling process. We aim to work closely with vegetable producers worldwide to achieve seamless and automated solutions spanning all handling requirements, large and small. The demand for our latest UniFill demonstrates an ongoing focus within the industry to maximize efficiency through automation,” Rich concluded.
