Looking for a reliable berry clamshell packing machine for your farm, packing house, or fresh fruit facility?
Smart Weigh provides an automatic blueberry clamshell weighing and packing line designed to handle delicate berries with better accuracy, less manual labor, and smoother production flow. This system is suitable for packing blueberries into plastic clamshell containers in common retail formats such as 125g, 250g, 500g, and 1kg.
Compared with manual filling, an automatic blueberry packing line helps improve packing speed, reduce labor costs, and keep pack weights more consistent. More importantly, it is built to protect product quality during filling, closing, and final inspection.
※ How the Blueberry Packing Line Works
A complete blueberry clamshell packaging machine line usually follows these steps:
1. Clamshell feeding
Empty clamshell containers are automatically picked and placed into position.
2. Blueberry weighing and filling
The linear weigher weighs the blueberries and fills them into the clamshells with a gentler product flow.
3. Clamshell closing
After filling, the containers move to the closing section where lids are shut properly.
4. Clamshell locking
The machine secures the container closure to prepare packs for transport and retail handling.
5. Weight checking (Optional machine – checkweigher)
Finished packs are inspected to confirm the final pack weight meets the required standard.
6. Optional labeling or coding
Depending on the project, the line can also connect with labeling or date coding equipment.
※ FEATURES
Gentle handling for delicate blueberries
Blueberries bruise easily if the filling process is too aggressive. This machine is designed for fresh berry applications where product appearance matters. The weighing and filling section helps reduce impact during product discharge, making it more suitable for delicate fruit than rough manual dumping or poorly matched filling equipment.
Accurate weighing for retail packs
Retail blueberry packs need to stay within target weight without excessive giveaway. This line uses a linear weighing system to improve filling consistency for common pack sizes. Better weighing accuracy helps reduce product waste and supports more stable finished pack quality.
Automatic clamshell feeding and closing
The system automatically feeds empty clamshells into position, fills them, and closes the lids in sequence. This reduces labor input and helps keep the full line running more consistently.
Supports different clamshell sizes
The machine can be adapted for different blueberry pack formats, including 125g, 250g, 500g, and 1kg clamshells. If you have a custom container size, the line can also be configured based on your packaging requirements.
Easy integration into a berry packing line
This automatic blueberry packing system can be connected with upstream berry sorting or grading equipment and downstream labeling or case packing equipment, making it suitable for a more complete fresh fruit packaging line.
※ INDUSTRY SOLUTION & PACKAGING FORMAT
This machine is suitable for a wide range of fresh berry packing needs, including:
- fresh blueberry retail packing
- export blueberry clamshell packing
- supermarket pack production
- farm packing line upgrades
- co-packing services for berries

Although this line is designed for blueberries, similar configurations may also be considered for other delicate berries depending on fruit size, condition, and packaging format.

※ Benefits of Using an Automatic Blueberry Packing Machine
1. Reduce labor during peak season
Manual berry packing requires more workers and becomes harder to manage when order volume increases. An automatic line helps reduce labor dependence and makes production planning easier during harvest season.
2. Improve packing efficiency
With a working speed of 30–50 clamshells per minute, the machine can support higher output than manual filling while keeping the process more organized and repeatable.
3. Better pack consistency
More consistent weighing means more stable retail packs, fewer complaints, and less unnecessary giveaway.
4. Protect blueberry quality
A properly designed berry filling system helps reduce bruising and supports better shelf presentation, which is especially important for retail packaging and export shipments.
5. Support line automation
If your goal is to move from manual packing to semi-automatic or fully automatic operation, this machine is a solid foundation for a more complete blueberry packaging line.
