“Love the Oyster Grader … the machine is doing round 20 bags in 4 hours. This would usually take 4 guys in excess of a day to complete. They are now wanting a wash unit to complete the line.”
“Just wanted to let you and your team know that the new bin tipper is going very well. It has fitted into our line perfectly and has improved our packing time and labour usage. No more lifting heavy crates! So, thank you very much for a great product!”
“Just wanted to let you know that our Tray Filler is working well. Thank you for your persistence in getting it right for us.”

Yes. KW Automation designs scalable, modular horticultural equipment suited to operations of any size, from small family-run nurseries just starting out to large commercial fruit and vegetable processors. Systems can be installed in stages, allowing growers to begin with essential equipment and expand their automation line as production volume increases.
The time saving from switching to horticultural automation equipment varies by operation. However, the difference is significant for most farms. Tasks that once required a full team working a full day, such as grading, pot filling, or bin tipping can often be completed by one or two operators in a fraction of the time. Many KW Automation customers report processing 2-3 times their previous volume with the same or smaller workforce, which translates directly into lower labour costs, fewer bottlenecks at peak harvest, and more consistent output quality across the season.
All KW Automation equipment is designed, engineered and manufactured locally in Palmwoods, Queensland, and supported by the same team that builds it. This means customers across Australia deal directly with the manufacturer for installation, parts and after-sales support, rather than a third-party reseller.
A bulk bin tipper is used to empty large harvest bins of produce, such as avocados, mangoes or citrus onto a conveyor or feed line for processing. A creep feeder then regulates the flow of that produce, releasing it gradually and evenly so downstream equipment like washers, graders and sizers can operate without overloading or jamming.
The horticultural automation equipment cost varies depending on scale, configuration and whether the system is custom-built. A single machine, such as a tray filler or pot dispenser typically costs less than a full packing or grading line designed for commercial volumes. Because every farm’s layout and output differs, KW Automation provides tailored quotes after understanding your specific operation rather than fixed pricing.
