Tray Stacker SX20
The SANOVO TraystackerSX20 is a product developed to enhance farms with small/medium-sized packing operations. We know there is limited space on farms, so we design the SX20 as a space-efficient solution that stacks 30x egg trays. Through the ergonomic design, it also supports farm operators and improves their working environment.
The SX20 can be installed on the SANOVO Farmpacker 40, 70, and 24000. It can handle many common plastic trays; SANOVO recommends the EggsCargosystem® sold by GI-OVO.
