Food + Beverages

Until now, cakes in a wide variety of shapes were sorted by hand, aligned and manually placed in a form-fill-seal machine for packaging. The cakes in particular come out of the cooler partly lying on their sides on a conveyor belt after baking. The madeleines are filled into blister packs on a second, aging machine.

Starting point

We developed a packaging system for the customer for all types of cakes.
This includes the automatic separation and alignment using our conveyor technology and the positioning of the cakes and filling of the Madeleines into blisters with vacuum technology and two robots. The subsequent packaging with a horizontal form-fill-seal machine is the last step of our complete system.


Solution

- More production space due to the smaller plant
- Autonomy in the Madeleines feed was increased
- Some process steps became superfluous thanks to our system and could be completely eliminated 
- Fully automatic packaging of the cakes
