Robots have been already actively used in the world in the 70th-80th of the last century. Nowadays robotization takes over the food industry to gain the competitive advantages. There are still processes that can be carried out only by humans. But it’s about timing. Functions of machine vision or grippers with a delicate effect on products are being developed.
As experts predict, minimum 25% of all the production tasks in food industry will be performed by robots by 2025. Many companies develop robots for the food industry. Today the leader of this direction in Russia is the German concern KUKA.
The industrial robots carry out the following operations in the food industry:
Packaging of finished goods
Labeling
Sampling for quality control
Loading/ unloading of raw materials, semifinished goods and products
Feeding of raw materials/ processed food to the conveyor.
Modern robots are quickly mounted and integrated into the network of a company, they are easily reconfigured. They help not only to increase an output, reduce costs and defects, but to reduce the pandemic factor, not to depend on personnel and to set uninterrupted operation.
Implemented Solutions
Robotic palletizing complex for water bottles (Niagara Company)
Results:
New customers with higher requirements to the product
Manufacturing costs’ reduction
Staff optimization
Reduce of defects
Increase of blank production
Increase of product and manufacturing processes’ repeatability
Project Objective
Replacement of men in palletizing of 19-litres bottles of water to metallic or plastic pallet. Increase of productivity in water palletizing.
Project Tasks
Transportation of 19-litres bottles to the point of loading
Placement of 19-litres bottles to plastic and metallic bottlers with a cycle of 24 bottles per minute
Robotic complex is designed as a modern production line with 24/7 capacity. The basic element is a weigh-lifting industrial robot KUKA KR240 R2500 Prime with the special design of grippers for 4* 19-litres bottles.
Feed of bottles to robot, formation of a 4 bottles line for different pallets are automatic. An industrial robot puts every 4 bottles to a cell of pallet. Feed of empty pallets and removal of filled ones is automatically done with the transport system. The complex is equipped with a safety system, that prevents an unauthorized access to the area inside the fence.
MetraRobotics would like to offer its customers various solutions for food tech processes automation with industrial robots. We supply robotics for wise range of solutions of industrial automation. Base of robotic complexes are KUKA industrial robots, those are the world leaders in the market of industrial equipment.
