Overview
Motoman Robots in the Food Industry / Food Processing
Since years, industrial robots have been involved in handling of packaged food products (Pick&Place, Pick&Pack, Palletize). Robots with special features appeared, like food grade grease, drip proof/cleanable design etc, usable for contamination critical specifications, and with the potential to replace conventional 2/3-axis kinematic structures - their pick rates are competitive, and robots are much more flexible as they can be easily re-programmed without hardware changes.
Pick & Place of Food with Motoman Robots
Motoman Robots with Food Grade Grease are allowed to process and handle food, avoiding contamination of the food in the very unlikely case of leakages. Our Cobots HC10DT-IP67, HC20DT, or Delta Pickers MPP3S and MPP3H have Food Grade Grease as a standard, other GP Series robots can be ordered with Food grade grease option, like GP7, GP8, GP12, GP25, GP50, other models on request.
Handling Packaged Food with Motoman Robots
This is the complete workflow in the Packaging Industry, including applications like "Pick & Place", Pick & Pack" and "Palletizing".
Motoman Robots in the Beverage Industry
Please check our separate chapter about the Beverage Industry.
Chocolate, Sweets and Ice Cream Production with Motoman Robots
Convenience Food Production with Motoman Robots
Bakery Automation with Motoman Robots
The production of bakery products has become increasingly industrialised, and because of the flexibility required for automation in this sector, robots often come into the game.
Dairy and Cheese Production with Motoman Robots
Automation of Egg, Poultry, Fish and Meat Processing with Motoman Robots
Handling Agricultural Products and Fruits with Motoman Robots
Palletizing Food Products with Motoman Robots
Once being packed into cartons or crates, the palletizing job is similar to other Palletizing applications.
Automation of Cleaning Processes with Motoman Robots
Robots can be used for cleaning transport containers like trays or crates, but also to clean fridges, ovens and other processing machinery automatically.
Motoman Robots working in low temperature environments
To be honest - flexible robot cables, gear sealings, lubrication grease and electronic components are not really made for permanent operation temperatures below zero degrees. For those applications, robots are wrapped into a robot suit/jacket - please contact us for more details.
