Challenge
Our customer, who works in the bakery industry producing biscuits for retail, required a robust system to accommodate its heavy-duty packaging needs.
Invention
On consultation, the Sewtec design team quickly understood the throughput demand faced by the customer. We proposed an automated packaging machine consisting of a 2-axis robot and custom vacuum gripper, which would be able to manage high volumes of product with speed and efficiency. The machine boasts Rockwell controls and also enables tool-free adjustment.
Results
The addition of its new automated biscuit packaging machine means our customer can:
- Feed different case types for erection from a separate machine
- Load each layer of product into the pre-built cases before each case is then moved to a separate Sewtec machine for secure closing
