Food Industry
Here gentle product turning, sorting, or distribution of usually sensitive products is required. For example, thin-walled, half-closed or open boxes with fragile contents such as biscuits. These sensitive goods are moved carefully or fed to the palletizer for further processing. Thanks to our servo technology with gentle product handling, our systems are particularly suitable for the following packaging types and products:
- Bread baskets, vegetable boxes, salad boxes, sometimes also stacked
- Meat tubs, often stacked
- Trays for bread, pasta, nuts or rice, for example
- Boxes of different sizes and weights
- Packs
- Sacks
- Bags/pouches
They turn products by 90 degrees, for example the products described above, often boxes of different sizes.
They sort all possible products or box sizes from 1 → 2 lanes, which is the usual application. Otherwise, our systems sort from 2 → 3 lanes or from 2 → 4 lanes. Other sorting is possible.
They distribute products from 1 → 2 lanes. Otherwise, our systems distribute from 2 → 3 lanes or from 2 → 4 lanes in preparation for layer formation in the infeed of the palletizer. Other distribution applications are possible with our systems on request.
They bring products together. For example, boxes and baskets from 2 → 1 lanes to create mixed pallets.
Easy handling of different box sizes
As the boxes in the food industry are coming in different sizes and weights, our servo technology is ideally suited to handling this range of products safely, gently and quickly over a long period of time. Thanks to the stainless-steel components, hygiene regulations are easily complied with.
Our systems operate flawlessly in cold rooms at minus 20 degrees and less.
