Food Case Packing Equipment Explained
There are distinct advantages to using robots for case packing your food products. With a conventional case packer, when a product or case size changes it would have to be re-engineered—adding unnecessary cost and frustration. With robotic case packing, the system can adapt to changes with only reprogramming and, if needed, a new end of arm tool (EOAT). Robotic systems cannot match the sheer speed of fixed automation, but with advances in robotics and EOAT technology it is not far behind. Your industry benefits the most by utilizing the newest in industrial robotics.
Before considering any robotic system integrator for secondary packaging, make sure that their systems are designed to the highest sanitary standards. All Flexicell washdown systems are manufactured so everything can be cleaned completely with no damage to the system. By using corrosive-resistant stainless steel and a method of construction that allows water to flow freely, Flexicell food case packing systems meet production requirements now and in the future.
For a freezer environment, the robot is either specially designed for the lower temperatures or fitted with a jacket that protects it from the cold. By using robots for case packing within the freezer, you keep your products frozen while protecting your employees from the danger of freezing temperatures.
Alongside the case packing robot, automated equipment like conveyors, automatic guided vehicles, and transfer carts help to reduce the need for operators at the end of your line. This is especially helpful in the food industry because case packing is often done in a freezer or washdown environment. Flexicell can also incorporate the use of these transportation methods for your products.
