The Harrier Bacon Draft Loading System safely loads fresh sliced retail bacon drafts into thermoformers. A patent-pending robotic gripper end-of-arm tool automatically prefolds flat bacon L-board flaps by utilizing a combination of linear servo actuators before the folded draft is rotated 180 degrees and articulated down into the thermoformer pocket. Featuring hygienic, IP69K-rated delta robots and an open design, the Harrier was designed to ensure the food safety of bacon and is washdown capable. The stainless steel robot sits in an open channel chassis and features tool-less disassembly of all tooling and conveyors for easy cleaning and sanitation.
