Ishida’s Rotary Salad Filler offers an automatic, high-speed solution for filling trays with salad products.

Salad leaves can have a free-flowing volume of 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.

Ishida's new system automatically fills salad into preformed trays at high speeds with minimum spillage.

With up to 50 trays per minute per lane on all pack formats, the system combines combination weighing with the filler to pack salad into trays cleanly and quickly.

The Rotary Salad Filler accepts preformed trays which can be fed by hand or via an automatic denesting system.

The filler then fills the tray via an Ishida combination weigher and settles the product twice to ensure it's fully in the tray.

Trays are then lowered at the exit of the machine to ensure all product remains in the tray.

The Ishida Rotary Salad Filler is available from Heat and Control.

Food & Drink Business

Owner of McGuigan and Nepenthe wines, Australian Vintage, recorded a one per cent drop in sales revenue to $257, and while it saw cash flow improvement in FY25, it remained behind company targets.

A further $28.7 million has been allocated to successful applicants through the federal Industry Growth Program, including several developing technologies to support the food system. The latest round included Blue Carbon, Provectus Algae, and Uncharted Waters.

Endeavour Group’s net profit after tax fell 16 per cent to $426 million in FY25. While results were buoyed by the Hotel business, retail sales fell to $10 billion, reflecting subdued consumer spending in retail liquor and supply chain disruption during the peak Christmas trading period.
