The IRB 340 FlexPickerTM for Automated Product Packaging

Flex Picker

Benefits

Background

The packing of products into cartons and retail-ready packages has been traditionally a highly labour-intensive process tying up a significant proportion of a plant's labour force. Developments in automated packing technology now enable the FlexpickerT to easily complete the process automatically, allowing the manual labour unit to be reallocated more effectively to another division within the plant.

FlexPickerTM

The FlexPickerT has been designed to increase packing productivity and is capable of packaging products at a rate of up to 150 picks per minute. The reliability of product placement guarantees the aesthetic quality of the packaging, a particularly valuable feature in the packaging of retail-ready products. The footprint of the FlexPickerT remains small as the equipment is mounted above the conveyor.

The FlexpickerT is the ideal solution for the packaging of meat and dairy products as well as for retail-ready packaging due to its IP67 food grade rating and sealed components.

Vision systems can be easily fitted to the FlexPickerT, allowing for multiple and size-variable products to be placed with 0.1mm accuracy.

Cleaning

The FlexPickerT is cleaned with detergent and low pressure water; its sealed and corrosion resistant components ensure easy cleaning and hygienic equipment.

Operation

Machinery Automation & Robotics (MAR) fully programme the FlexPickerT for operation; our comprehensive training for operators and maintenance staff ensures your equipment continues to perform at optimal capacity. Operators are provided with a user-friendly control screen for stop/start operation and program changes as required. FlexPickerT works automatically and unsupervised.
