Robotic pick and place system for frozen products

Enhance efficiency in your packaging line with a solution designed for fast, precise sorting and packing of frozen foods, ensuring only quality products proceed through advanced vision and robotic handling.

The Argoflex-41 from Pattyn Packaging Lines is an all-in-one robotic solution designed to streamline the packaging of frozen foods. This system is unique due to its integration of 3D and color vision technology, enabling precise shape recognition and quality control. It efficiently handles products such as frozen bread rolls, pizzas, and vegetables, processing up to 4,500 products per hour. The Argoflex-41 facilitates seamless integration into existing packaging lines with its ability to connect to flow wrappers and horizontal packaging machines. Its compact design and use of delta robots maximize floor space and operational speed. Automation features include continuous, high-speed robotic operations and an optional direct bulk filling station. Built from robust materials, it ensures durability and reliability in demanding production environments. Customized grippers and the optional bottom-up-finger system allow for flexible product handling, making it an indispensable tool for food processing plants and packaging companies.
