Spanish term

encestadoras / desencestadoras

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Engineering: Industrial
In a certificate of employment from Argentina, these terms are used in reference to duties performed by an electrical technician in a seafood canning factory. They appear to refer to some kind of automated packing equipment. Does anybody know what these are, and what they would be called in English?

Thanks in advance for your help.

(Basket) loaders / (basket) unloaders

I´m not guessing, but not fully sure either. I think the terms are used in Argentina (perhaps in the Americas) with a final “a”, but in Spain we would rather say “encestador” and “desencestador”. The function of these machines used in the packaging and processing food industry is described in the links below.

The Freddi basket loading – unloading machines have a revolutionary can/jar picking head that combines the efficiency of permanent magnets with an extremely light-weight device that allows moving the picking carriage with maximum ease.
The standard, semiautomatic machine (manual positioning/removal of the layer pad) may be equipped so as to become fully automatic right up to fully automated basket loading and unloading.

Peer comment(s):

agree Ricardo Obando : It's basket loader, not box loader. Here's a link to a tuna cannery's website. http://www.jbtfoodtech.com/Solutions/Processes/Tuna-processi...

Reference:

Confirmation that this is about packaging

Seeing where "Encestado - desencestado de envases" fits in this list of equipment, the term may refer to the packing of cans in boxes (which are then paletized).

Unfortunately the company's own website http://www.ferlo.es/ingles/Ferlo_encestadores.html , which is bilingual por/eng, has not translated 'encestador' - but there is a video worth at least 1000 words which shows a large machine packing cans in large boxes.
