Heavy-duty sorting and packaging machinery for Australian food producers
Lamiamlocale builds stainless steel grading lines and automated bagging systems for corporate facilities that process grain, pulses, nuts, and seeds at scale. Every machine is engineered around throughput targets, changeover speed, and the hygiene requirements of modern food plants.
Straight answers about throughput, calibration, and line integration for Australian food producers.
It depends on the line configuration. A compact optical sorter with a bagging station fits in roughly 18 by 6 metres. If you add metal detection, checkweighing, and palletizing, plan for 30 metres of linear conveyor. We always do a site layout review before quoting so the line fits your existing building and service points.
Our optical sorters run between 8 and 20 tonnes per hour depending on the product, screen size, and the level of defect removal you need. For lighter seeds like canola, expect the lower end of that range. We calibrate each machine on your actual sample before it leaves the workshop.
Yes. We build the line around your current filler or sealer rather than forcing a full replacement. The control system talks to most major PLC brands, and we add a short infeed conveyor to match your bag dimensions and cycle speed. A site audit tells us exactly which interfaces are needed.
A typical single-line installation takes five to seven working days on site. That includes mechanical assembly, wiring, control setup, and operator training. We stay until the line runs at your target throughput for a full shift, so your team is not left guessing after we leave.
All product contact parts are 304 grade stainless steel, with 316 available for washdown zones that see aggressive cleaning chemicals. Welds are ground flush and joints are crevice-free, so there are no hidden spots where product or bacteria can collect. This keeps your line compliant with Australian food safety audits.
Yes. Every line includes remote diagnostics through a secure connection, so our technicians can read fault logs and adjust parameters without a site visit. For mechanical issues, we have service technicians based in Victoria who can usually reach a facility within two working days. See our support desk page for response times.
Capability overview
Every line we assemble is specified around the throughput, product mix, and hygiene requirements of a particular facility. The list below covers the core functions we deliver on site.
High-speed cameras and air ejectors remove discolored kernels, foreign material, and broken pieces before product reaches the bagging stage. We configure each unit for the crop you run, whether that is wheat, barley, lentils, or chickpeas.
For facilities that need density-based cleaning, we supply decks that separate by weight and size without damaging the product. These units handle high volumes and integrate directly with upstream intake systems.
Multi-head weighers and bag fillers keep output consistent at rates that match your line speed. We set tolerances to your target weight range so overfill stays low and checkweighers confirm every bag before sealing.
Belt, screw, and bucket conveyors are sized to the product and the layout of your building. We plan transfer points to reduce spillage, dust, and product degradation between process stages.
Detection heads and reject valves are placed after final filling to catch contamination before palletizing. We document the inspection points so your team can show compliance during audits.
PLC-based controls give operators a single view of speed, counts, and stoppages. Production data is logged per shift so you can compare runs and adjust settings without stopping the line.
Tell us about your throughput targets and the products you grade or pack. Our engineers will map the right sorter and packaging configuration before you commit to a layout.
Most initial consultations take under an hour and cover conveyor speeds, sensor options, and floor space requirements.
