Automate the transfer of muffins baked
in trays exiting industrial ovens into plastic thermoformed clamshell
containers:
Muffins stick to baking trays and
can be damaged during removal
Current process involves manually
handling the trays and applying shock loads to "knock"
out the product into bulk storage bins
Muffins are subsequently hand loaded
into clamshell containers.
Solution:
Food Product Transfer System
Direct the customers high speed food
conveyor system into multiple buffer stations. Each station possesses
a single automated transfer system that flips and bangs the indexed
trays of muffins into a mold plate which then reverse flips the
product into indexed containers.
Automated transfer system closes
clamshell container as it exits the buffer station and reenters the
factory conveyor system
