Agropack Solutions will exhibit at Potatoes In Practice 2026 at Balruddery Farm
The team will showcase six field-to-packing machines—including the Wevano JCL Optical Grader, Vegniek Selecto roguing cart, and Verbruggen weighing and stitching equipment—selected specifically for Scottish potato and root crop growers.
Potatoes In Practice is Scotlands premier outdoor potato event, and this year Agropack Solutions will be in attendance with one of its strongest lineups to date. Confirmed for Thursday 13 August 2026 at Balruddery Farm, near Dundee, the Agropack Solutions team will be joined on the day by specialists from Wevano, travelling over from Holland to give Scottish growers a first-hand look at two of their flagship machines.
With just one week to go until the event, it’s a timely opportunity for potato and root crop growers to see field-to-packing equipment up close—ask detailed questions, compare options, and speak directly with people who understand the realities of growing and packing in Scottish conditions.
What Agropack Solutions Will Be Showing at PiP 2026
Six machines will be on display at Balruddery Farm, covering key stages from field to packed product. Each one has been selected with Scottish growing conditions and real operational demands in mind.
Vegniek Selecto — 4WD Roguing Cart
The Vegniek Selecto is a four-wheel-drive roguing cart built for comfort and sustained productivity in the field. Hydraulic controls and cruise control keep operators focused across long working days, reducing fatigue and improving accuracy during roguing operations. For Scottish growers working across varied terrain, the 4WD capability is a practical advantage.
Wevano JCL Optical Grader — Quality and Size Sorting at up to 11 t/hr
The Wevano JCL Optical Grader brings advanced sorting technology to the packing line, achieving quality and size separation at throughputs of up to 11 tonnes per hour. Wevano’s team will be present on the day to walk growers through the system’s capabilities and answer technical questions directly. For operations where consistency and line speed both matter, this machine represents a significant step forward.
Wevano Pentle Belt — Stone, Clod, Soil and Haulm Separation
At the harvesting stage, clean separation of stone, clod, soil and haulm protects downstream equipment and improves overall product quality from the outset. The Wevano Pentle Belt is a robust, dependable solution that has proven itself across a wide range of harvesting conditions.
Verbruggen Twin Head Weigher with Cross Belt
Fast, accurate weighing is central to any high-output packing line. The Verbruggen Twin Head Weigher with cross belt configuration maintains throughput without sacrificing precision—a combination that matters when you’re running against tight packing schedules.
Verbruggen Stitcher with Label Dispenser
The Verbruggen Stitcher with integrated label dispenser closes and labels bags in a single pass. Semi-automatic operation keeps the process efficient, the presentation consistent, and the output professional—bag after bag.
APS Box Filler
For post-harvest operations where product care is the priority, the APS Box Filler delivers gentle, dependable filling that protects crop quality and reduces waste. Designed with delicate and high-value crops in mind, it supports quality preservation from packing through to delivery.

The Agropack Solutions team specialises in matching equipment to operations, drawing on in-depth knowledge of local growing environments and the full supply chain from harvest to packed product.
