Funktioner
Robot filling arm
Automated control of filling nozzle motion
The robot filling arm moves in lateral and horizontal planes to deliver a precise, repeatable filling pattern and finish. The fully automated action supports highly advanced decorations and patterns. The robot also enables filling with cold ice cream, which minimises ice crystallisation, reduces hardening time need and maximises product quality.
Dual filling stations
Continuous production enabled
Two filling stations with adjustable product holders enable continuous production. Cup, tub or cone fixation is guided from four sides to ensure the right filling position. The adjustable holders enable fast changeovers between product types and sizes, with tub capacity of up to 12 units per minute. Each full container is replaced by the operator during filling of the alternate container, ensuring constant production.
Exchangeable and adjustable product holders
Enables wide range of product sizes
Product holders are easy to remove or adjust to fit multiple product sizes. Standard holders come in a range of fixed sizes corresponding to different cup or tub dimensions. Adjustable holders have flexible guide rails that can be widened or narrowed to fit the right cup or tub size. Both holder types allow easy switching between different cup, tub and family pack sizes.
Robot control system
Endless range of motions and timings
An integrated control system stores and controls all robot motions and timings. Many filling motion profiles and timings are pre-loaded and these can be tailored by the user to fill and decorate the product in question. An easy-to-use interface enables the user to select the correct profile and also to adjust the motion profile and timings. All profiles and variations are downloadable to a USB drive.
Alternativ
Multiple filling nozzles
For different finishes and decorations, with or without ripple
Multiple filling nozzles are available for different finishes and decorations. Inclusion sizes of up to 10 or 16 mm are supported. Flat bottom nozzles are available for large tubs or cake without decoration. Serrated bottom nozzles enable decoration filling including ripple sauce. Customised options also exist.
Tetra Pak® Continuous Freezer S series
Automated freezing maximises cost reduction
An automated freezer unlocks the full benefits of robot filling. Compared to manual freezing, an automated freezer reduces standard product deviation from around 4% to 1.5% or less, reducing product waste. The continuous freezer’s rapid start-up and product changeovers further reduce waste. Tetra Pak has two options:
- Tetra Pak® Continuous Freezer 1500 A2, with capacity of 300-1,500 l/hr of ice cream
- Tetra Pak® Continuous Freezer 700 A2, with capacity of 150-700l/hr of ice cream
En hjälpande cobot-hand
Den holländska premiumglass- och patisserietillverkaren Otelli använder en samarbetande robot, eller ”cobot”, för att fylla glasstubförpackningar, så att personalen kan ägna sig åt mer värdeskapande uppgifter.
Automation omvandlar livsmedelsindustrin med robottillämpningar. Samarbetande robotar, eller ”cobots”, ger en hjälpande hand i produktionen genom att ta över fysiskt krävande och monotona arbetsuppgifter eller tröttsamma och påfrestande rörelser. Den robotiska hjälpande handen förbättrar inte bara medarbetarnas arbetsmiljö, utan ger dem också tid över till mer värdeskapande uppgifter – utan att de förlorar jobbet.
