Packing Factory
2.packing
Banana hands are separated from the bunch stem with a knife. Any fingers that are too small or broken are cut off. The hand is then sorted and graded for size and quality by being placed on a packing wheel or into a water trough/conveyor system.
In cardboard cartons with plastic liners, bananas are packed as full hands, part hands, or clusters. Between each full hand, plastic slip-sheets are utilised, and the carton's bottom is lined with absorbent paper. To facilitate collection and delivery for transportation, cartons are staked into pallets.
packing
To ensure a net weight of 13kg when a carton of bananas reaches the markets, they are usually packed to a weight of 13.5 to 13.7kg in order to allow for any weight loss.
