Discover how Greenmart Farmer / Valley Pure Farms increased output and reduced labor with LeafyPack’s ELITEWEIGH™ and ROTOBAGGER™ system.
Greenmart Farmer / Valley Pure Farms was built on a commitment to delivering high-quality, farm-fresh flower at a consistent and accessible price. However, their early packaging process relied entirely on manual labor.
‍
Hand packing proved to be time-consuming, inconsistent, and difficult to scale. With multiple operators required to meet daily targets, production remained limited—capping output at around 2,000 units per day.
‍
As demand increased, this approach quickly became unsustainable. The team faced growing pressure to process product faster while maintaining the same level of quality their customers expected. In an industry where product flow is constant and time-sensitive, delays in packaging could directly impact freshness, efficiency, and profitability.
‍
They needed a solution that could:
To support their growth, LeafyPack implemented a fully automated packaging system combining the ELITEWEIGH™ scale and the ROTOBAGGER™—recipient of the CannaTech Innovation Award. The solution was designed to streamline operations while preserving product integrity.
‍
High-Speed Automated Bagging
The ROTOBAGGER™ enabled continuous, high-speed packaging, eliminating the bottlenecks of manual processes.
‍
Precision Weighing with ELITEWEIGH™
Accurate, repeatable weighing ensured consistent fills while reducing product giveaway.
‍
Flexible Changeovers
Operators could quickly switch between strains and bag sizes, allowing for greater production agility.
‍
Seamless Integration
The system was designed to fit within existing workflows, ensuring a smooth transition to automation.
‍‍
Responsive Support
LeafyPack provided hands-on, real-time support, reinforcing a true partnership beyond installation.
“With a single operator, we’re now able to generate 5,000 to 6,000 units without even trying.”
LeafyPack worked closely with the Valley Pure team to tailor the system to their production needs. The installation was efficient and required minimal downtime, allowing for a smooth transition from manual to automated packaging.
‍
Operators quickly adapted to the system, benefiting from its intuitive design and reliability. The team was able to scale production immediately while maintaining control over quality and consistency.
3Ă— Increase in Output
Production scaled from ~2,000 units to 5,000–6,000 units per day.
‍
Reduced Labor Requirements
Staffing needs dropped from 4–5 operators to just one, significantly lowering operational costs.
‍
Improved Processing Speed
Continuous automation allowed the team to keep up with product flow without delays.
‍
Consistent Product Quality
Precision and controlled handling ensured uniform, high-quality output across every package.
‍‍
Scalable Operations
The system positioned Valley Pure for continued growth with a more efficient and reliable packaging process.
