Robotic automation for food packaging systems

Automation in packaging is a fast growing trend. Especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, many manufacturers started replacing manual work steps by fully automated solutions. This is where pick and place robots excel. They help food manufacturers to reach their production targets at high efficiency and quality levels.

Whether you are automating your product handling to feed a single machine or automating a complete line – our system competence makes the process easier for you.

Key benefits

Automated packaging solutions

Benefit from our turnkey solutions. Syntegon has decades of experience with automated manufacturing processes in many industries.

Future-proof investments

The flexible building blocks of our Robotic Pick & Place (RPP) platform allow you to adapt your production step by step while you grow.

Flex to the max

Take advantage of the Syntegon RPP platform's full product and pack style flexibility.

Efficient operation

Maximize performance per m²production floor space by flexible integration of additional pick and place robots.

Safeguard quality

Ensure high food safety with built-in quality control, gentle handling and safe operation.

RPP: Reduce complexity to the max

The Syntegon RPP platform offers outstanding modular scalability with a compact footprint. Its reliable performance reduces downtime, provides high product quality, and enables you to react quickly to changing market requirements. The combination of high OEE, cutting-edge technology, and a compact footprint provides maximum output per m^2.

Smart interfaces increase performance with additional robotic capacity. A basic RPP configuration consists of two delta robots with a performance of up to 120 picks per robot per minute. The modular design and layout flexibility enable you to scale up step by step to grow your production operations.

The RPP platform features a new product belt design with self-tracking and automatic tension control function. Its vision-guided product detection ensures precise product handling, feeding, and loading operations, or the assembly of variety and assortment packs.

We have designed a new flexible carton and tray transport module to extend loading options. The 4 or optional 5 axis delta robots pick the products and place them in trays, cartons or infeed chains, either flat or on-edge.

End-of-arm click systems with overload supervision enable fast and tool-less format changes. The new indicator status light concept communicates clear machine status messages to the operator.

The RPP platform’s full stainless steel, self-draining and IP65-compliant construction provides for hygienic operations. The clever integration of the vision system and other components into the electrical cabinet makes the overall design of each RPP cell clean, open and easily accessible.
