In the ever-evolving landscape of agricultural technology, Tong Engineering’s latest model of the UniFill big bag and box filler is making waves. The first quarter of 2024 witnessed an unprecedented surge in demand for this cutting-edge equipment, heralding a new era of efficiency and versatility in crop handling.
The UniFill has long been a cornerstone in Tong Engineering’s repertoire, renowned for its gentle handling and high capacity. However, the updated model takes it a step further, incorporating state-of-the-art features such as easy-to-use HMI touchscreen controls, which have propelled its popularity among vegetable producers worldwide.
Charlie Rich, Sales Director at Tong Engineering, affirms, “The updated UniFill has struck a chord with producers seeking a versatile filling solution for both big bags and boxes. Its heavy-duty design and innovative features ensure not only gentle handling but also precise and efficient filling, catering to the diverse needs of the industry.”
Central to the UniFill’s appeal is its unique design, boasting two lowering finger-flighted crop conveyors that delicately cradle crops into big bags or boxes. This ensures uniform filling while safeguarding the integrity of the produce—an essential consideration for maintaining quality throughout the supply chain.
Moreover, Tong Engineering has streamlined the machine’s operation with its unrivaled HMI touch-screen control system. Users can effortlessly customize filling requirements, adjusting for various bag and box sizes as well as crop types. Integrated weigh platforms further enhance efficiency, allowing for precise filling to weight with optional data capture and recording facilities for improved stock control and traceability.

Metcalfe confirmed that the UniFill’s design is well-suited for onion automated solutions, further solidifying its reputation as a multifunctional asset in the agricultural sector.
The demand for the UniFill spans the globe, with recent deliveries destined for key markets such as Turkey and the USA. Charlie Rich remarks, “The adoption of our Auto-Touch HMI control systems across our filling range underscores the industry’s shift towards automation and efficiency. By prioritizing ease of operation and reliability, we empower producers to optimize their handling processes and maximize profitability.”
