Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022003267A1] The invention relates to a method for packaging objects (2) which are included in a plurality of objects belonging to the fruit and vegetable group and the shape of which is such that the objects included in the plurality of objects can roll along a surface, characterised in that the objects (2) included in the plurality of objects are deposited onto a solid surface, referred to as the deposition surface (1), of a system (10) for packaging the objects, the deposition surface (1) being substantially horizontal, suitable for receiving the objects included in the plurality of objects and elastically deformable such that the deposition of each object on the deposition surface (1) creates, under the weight of the object concerned, a recess (3) in the deposition surface (1) which tends to wedge the object in the recess (3), then the objects included in the plurality of objects deposited onto the deposition surface (1) and held in a position relative to the deposition surface, referred to as the deposition position, which position is fixed during deposition and held subsequent to deposition due to the deposition surface (1), are removed from the deposition surface for the purpose of packing in a packaging container (17). The invention also relates to a system for packaging a plurality of objects belonging to the fruit and vegetable group.
