Robotic solution for packing frozen bread products

Optimize your frozen bread packing process with high-speed, precise pick-and-place robots that ensure quality control, reduce manual handling, and seamlessly integrate into your production line.

The Argoswing-41 robotic packaging system from Pattyn Packaging Lines revolutionizes frozen bread packaging with a seamless integration of precision and efficiency. This versatile machine excels in packaging, inspection, and counting tasks, designed specifically for the bakery and food processing industries. It employs advanced 3D and color vision technology to ensure only conforming products are packed, while non-conforming items are ejected. Ceiling-mounted robots with dual suction cups manage high-speed pick & place operations, handling up to 2500 products per hour with minimal interference. The system accommodates various bakery products, from seeded rye bread to gluten-free options, with remarkable adaptability. With optional integration of the MEC-11 bulk box filler, it handles bulk packaging with quick product changeovers. Automation is streamlined with PLC controls, ensuring continuous, high-speed operations with optimal energy use. Its compliance with industry standards and potential for customization make it an essential asset for manufacturers demanding robust, dependable packaging solutions.
