The use of 4- to 6-axis robots makes it possible to set up packaging islands with automatic bag pick-up, whether taped or overlapping, to insert them around the product, conveyed by thin belts, and then pick it up and deposit it orderly, with the mouth suitably flattened, on the belts of vacuum heat-sealing bell machines.
Our lines are suitable for products with a round section, such as mortadella or cured meats, whole or in halves, or rectangular or square, such as cheese slicing logs, or similar vegan and vegetarian products.
Islands can be made with multiple robots, operating independently or in synchronism.
The key element of our custom-made robotic islands is the special grasper (patented), which unifies the functions of gripping the packaging bag, whether from storage or from unwinders for taped bags, handling the bag mouth and gripping the product for its ordered transfer onto the belt of vacuum chamber machines.
Products stop on thin belts, which have a particularly small footprint in both width and thickness, quite similar to those of our bagging helpers. The bag mouth can be conformed to 4-, or 8-, or 12-sides, depending on the gripper chosen according to the shape and size of the products, whether mortadella, sliced cheese logs, or other.
Depending on the required productivity, two robots can load the same double sealing bar machine, with a productivity of up to 720 pcs/h, or 2 machines side by side.
We also propose solutions suitable for handling flow-packed products.
