Fruit and Vegetable Packaging Line and Factory Setup
A fruit and vegetable packaging line is a complete industrial system designed to wash, sort, weigh and pack fresh produce under hygienic and controlled process conditions. The line handles a wide range of fruits and vegetables depending on the selected washing, sorting and packaging equipment.
From an industrial perspective, fresh produce packaging is important because it combines gentle product handling, precise weighing, hygienic washing and reliable sealing to preserve quality and extend shelf life. The process relies on a defined sequence of unit operations that must be correctly engineered, sized and integrated.
Primary materials typically include fresh fruits and vegetables, process water, disinfectants, packaging films, cartons, labels and protective materials. The core machinery set consists of washing machines, sorting systems, weighing units, VFFS packaging machines, vacuum sealers and labelling equipment.
The Industrial Department supports investors who want to establish a new fruit and vegetable packaging plant as well as existing operators who need repair, overhaul, capacity expansion or automation of their current lines. Projects can start from an empty site or from an operating facility that requires technical upgrading.
Whether the goal is a green-field turnkey packaging plant in Iraq, Kurdistan Region, Afghanistan or other regional markets, or the modernization of an existing line in Iran, engineering, machinery supply or manufacturing, installation, commissioning and ongoing technical support can be provided under defined contractual scopes.
Production Line Overview
The fruit and vegetable packaging line is engineered as an integrated process system covering receiving, washing, sorting, weighing, packaging and labelling. Design capacity is determined during the engineering phase and can typically range from 500 to 2000 kg per hour depending on product type and final packaging format.
Product types include various fresh fruits and vegetables packed in bags, trays or vacuum packs. The overall process flow follows a defined sequence: receiving and classification, washing, sorting, weighing, primary packaging, quality control, labelling and secondary packaging.
Main machinery groups include washing systems, optical or mechanical sorters, multi-head weighers, vertical form-fill-seal machines, vacuum sealers and labelling units. Supporting infrastructure covers electrical power, process water, compressed air and wastewater handling.
Manpower requirements depend on the degree of automation and the selected packaging format. Quality control covers incoming produce quality, washing effectiveness, weight accuracy and package integrity. Finished packs are stored under appropriate temperature conditions before distribution.
Technical Specifications
The following technical data represent typical ranges for an industrial fruit and vegetable packaging line. Final values are defined during basic and detailed engineering and may vary according to selected technology, level of automation, product portfolio and factory layout.

| Production Capacity | 500–2000 kg/h (depending on product and packaging format) |
| Required Area | 300–800 m² (subject to final layout) |
| Electrical Power | 380 V three-phase, 30–80 kW |
| Water Consumption | 10–30 m³/day |
| Manpower | 5–12 persons per shift |
| Main Machines | Washing machine, sorter, weigher, VFFS packaging machine, vacuum sealer, labeler |
All figures are indicative. Detailed utility balances and layout drawings are prepared after process definition.
Products
An industrial fruit and vegetable packaging line can handle a variety of produce depending on the selected configuration. Typical product families include washed and sorted fruits, vegetables in portion packs, vacuum-packed items and labelled retail packs.
Raw Materials for Fruit and Vegetable Packaging Factory
Raw material selection and quality control are critical for product freshness and shelf life. The main materials are fresh produce, process water, approved disinfectants and packaging materials.

Manufacturing Process
- Receiving and Classification – Produce is received and classified by size, quality and type.
- Washing – Products are washed with clean water and approved sanitizers.
- Sorting – Defective items are removed by mechanical or optical systems.
- Weighing – Accurate portion weighing is performed.
- Packaging – Vertical form-fill-seal or vacuum packaging is applied.
- Labelling and Secondary Packaging – Labels are applied and packs are placed in cartons.
Machinery & Equipment
- Washing Machine – Gently cleans produce. Position: first process stage. Importance: hygiene foundation. Quality impact: residual dirt reduces shelf life. Maintenance: nozzles, filters and conveyors. Sahi Rasa support includes design, installation, repair and spare parts.
- Sorting System – Separates by size and quality. Position: after washing. Importance: ensures consistent pack quality. Quality impact: poor sorting leads to customer complaints. Maintenance: sensors and mechanical sorting elements.
- Weighing Unit – Delivers accurate portion weights. Position: before packaging. Importance: legal and commercial compliance. Quality impact: under or over weight affects profitability. Maintenance: load cells and software.
- VFFS Packaging Machine – Forms, fills and seals bags at 5–15 packs per minute. Position: core packaging stage. Importance: determines pack appearance and speed. Quality impact: seal integrity affects shelf life. Maintenance: sealing jaws, film system and controls.
- Vacuum Sealer and Labeler – Completes specialized packs and applies identification. Position: end of line. Importance: final presentation. Quality impact: incomplete vacuum or missing labels reduce market acceptance. Maintenance: vacuum pumps and print heads.
Factory Layout & Building Requirements
Typical areas include receiving, washing, sorting, packaging, cold storage if required, packaging materials storage, quality control, utilities, maintenance and staff facilities. Layout must respect hygienic zoning. Exact area is determined during engineering.
Utilities
- Electricity: 380 V three-phase, 30–80 kW
- Water: 10–30 m³/day
- Compressed air as required by packaging machines
