Food transport – orbital roller automation

×

1 / Need identified

This installation automates the output of product sachets and their palletization. There are three product inputs with a maximum throughput of 90 sachets per minute. On the other side of the line, there is a supply of pallets, empty boxes, and an output of palletized product.

2 / Solution

Improvements implemented.

The line inlets have a second conveyor belt on which the bags are placed while the boxes are being changed, acting as a buffer and preventing the production feed from stopping.

The grippers of the palletizing robots are equipped with Cognex vision cameras that have a dual function:

  • Ensure the empty box is picked up.
  • Ensure that the boxes are placed and stacked securely on top of each other, as these boxes are interlocked.

ORBITAL SYSTEM:
– System with bearings and an eccentric motor that produces an orbital motion to distribute the bags evenly across the box.

ROBOT GRABBER:
– Gripper system with handle centering.

Advantages

Product reuse (raw material): This installation achieves significant savings because the product initially discarded is due to its size and shape, but is perfect for reuse in a mixture with new sourdough starter.

Quality Improvement: Metal controls prevent product contamination.
