Food manufacturers have traditionally found meal assembly challenging to automate, especially in high-mix production environments that require different SKUs on the same production line with quick changeovers.
The CDS is designed to de-stack both RPC and cardboard cases of all standard sizes in either orientation on the same machine, utilizing quick change tooling and a recipe driven control system.
Tray-sealing specialist Proseal has launched a tray-positioning system that calculates the required tray spacing set-up parameters for individual tray sealing tool-sets, eliminating the trial-and-error usually associated with this process. The new patent-pending ProPosition feature automatically identifies the best position for trays, to ensure the perfect alignment every time.
