VertiFill Vegetable Box Filler

Our VertiFill filling heads are becoming an increasingly popular choice in packhouses throughout the world. This is due to extremely gentle and innovative way that the crop is transferred into the box and the saving of valuable space in the factory when compared to the traditional twin head box fillers.

An infeed elevator gently transfers produce into the deep, soft cleats of the lowerator belt. The produce is then conveyed down and transferred into the waiting bin below, as the bin fills, sensors raise the filling head vertically, gradually layering the crop into the bin.

The addition of an Even Flow Hopper before the filler buffers the crop whilst the box is being changed and allows the operator to maintain line speed.

Multiple widths are available for a variety of box sizes and can be integrated with weigh platforms to fill to a set weight.

Our story began when Geoff Haith, at just 18 years old, started carrying out repairs for local farmers. Through this work, he recognised a need for more efficient, mechanised solutions for washing and grading root vegetables. Combining his engineering expertise with a strong farming background, Geoff went on to design and manufacture innovative machinery for handling carrots, potatoes, and beetroot.

Until recently, the business was led by Geoff’s five sons and daughter, supported by a talented and forward-thinking management team dedicated to ensuring the company’s continued success. Today, Haith employs over 120 people at our UK factory and works with a network of agents worldwide, promoting the Haith brand globally and delivering high-quality installations and satisfied customers across the world.

Over the years, Haith has continued to grow in both size and capability, relocating three times to accommodate expanding operations. This growth has culminated in our current ultra-modern, wholly owned facility in South Yorkshire, featuring approximately 6,000 m² of production space on a six-acre site. The factory is equipped with the latest CNC laser, waterjet, and bending technology, enabling us to maintain the highest standards of precision and quality.

Haith has received numerous awards for machine design and innovation. We are especially proud to have been honoured twice with the UK’s highest business accolade, The Queen’s Award for Enterprise, both in the Innovation category. As the only company in our field to hold this prestigious award, our commitment to continuous innovation and development—helping to keep the UK vegetable industry at the forefront of technology—has been clearly recognised.
