Now driven by advanced artificial intelligence, this new FM Alert software achieves uniquely accurate results, the company states. Data outputs from the software can be utilized to immediately alert operators and/or signal a downstream device. Key Technology’s AI-enhanced FM Alert software for the company’s digital sorting systems captures and saves digital images of critical foreign material (FM) contaminants that the sorter detects and rejects from the product stream. It also targets operational inefficiencies, including upstream product giveaway, non-conforming food packs and packaging waste.

It is employed to verify the weight of each product and reject non-conforming packs to deliver reliable weight control with exceptional accuracy. The company’s Raptor Checkweigher is a highly accurate, fully integrated check weighing system designed explicitly for high-care food production environments. The company’s RI20 Industrial Palletizer can handle payloads of up to 15 kilograms at 12 cycles per minute and does not have a mainframe attached to the floor, making it a mobile solution suitable for use in multiple production lines.Ĭustom-developed metal detectors and check weighers from Fortress Technology are designed to help companies reach food safety and quality goals. The conveyor system is based on an easy-to-clean, free-hanging return belt to uphold strict hygiene standards.

The top belt can be lifted and the outer slide rails can be folded back for easy cleaning. It is easy to clean, offers smooth handling of products, is safe for operators, has a robust design and long life, and is easy to maintain with a low cost of ownership. The modular wide belt conveyor from FlexLink, a Coesia Co., addresses important aspects of today’s packing process. Festo AX improves machine utilization and quality and lowers waste, the company states.

This AI-based system provides actionable information to correct anomalies when data begins trending out of normal. Using advanced analytics, Festo AX maps data to learn a component, machine, product, or energy system’s healthy state as it operates in a dairy. The adjustable spring tensioning allows for varied aggressiveness, enabling the scraper to follow the contour of both smooth fabrics and modular plastic belts.įesto introduces the Festo Automation Experience (AX), a new artificial intelligence (AI) platform for predictive maintenance, predictive quality, and energy optimization. Other new products include its 3130 Flex-Scraper, an adjustable belt scraper that is key to a clean belt, and a sanitary processing line. At the same time, a small diameter infeed and discharge rollers allow for close transfers. With a unique and sanitary design that is made in the USA, it is ideally suited for food processing applications since it maintains product orientation. Its 1150 Constant Turn Fabric Belt Conveyor keeps small products moving efficiently through production lines. Modular in design, the case packer allows companies to choose from a variety of standard product handling systems and is great for cartons of dairy products including individually wrapped cheese slices.Įaglestone Equipment offers a line of personalized sorting and conveyor solutions. With its hygienic design, the Wrap Around 100 is built for food applications and has a fast and tool-free changeover, making it ideal for packing multiple products on the same line. The Wrap Around 100 case packer from BluePrint Automation automatically erects, loads, and closes wraparound cases, trays, tray-lid combinations, and regular slotted cases. The ProFlo inkjet technology supports higher uptime, lower maintenance, and improved print quality of colors. With an end-to-end digitized printing and inspection workflow, it is designed to deliver flexibility and agility in packaging operations, helping radically reduce time-to-market. This new system transfers the benefits resulting from just-in-time printing and late-stage customization to web-based packaging. Atlantic Zeiser, a Coesia Co., introduced the Digiline Vario for direct printing of flexible narrow web materials.
