Equipped with vision-guided highspeed robots, this innovative machine accurately identifies incoming products on the conveyor belt and precisely places them in the feeding process It utilizes optimal counterflow or co-flow techniques, providing versatile solutions to meet diverse production requirements By consolidating these capabilities within a single solution, manufacturers can optimize their production lines and achieve early production startup The integrated buffering capabilities increase line efficiency and eliminate the need for additional linking conveyors, resulting in cost savings and optimized layout

According to PMMI, one practical barrier to automation lies in the fact that many CPGs are based in older buildings with small and awkward layouts In fact, nearly half of CPGs in the United States say limited floorspace is hindering automation initiatives

To address this issue, Rotzinger has developed the Robot with an Integrated Buffer, which features a compact design and a narrow footprint This solution helps U S producers maximize space efficiency, enabling them to make additional investments in their plants and achieve higher profitability Moreover, the modular design of the Robot with an Integrated Buffer allows for customization, making it suitable for even the most challenging factory layouts Whether implemented in existing facilities or new plant investments, this solution offers optimal adaptability and performance packaging lines

Rotzinger has developed a Hygienic Conveyor for dry cleaning specifically designed to address food safety concerns and adhere to the highest hygienic standards

This conveyor incorporates an intelligent cleaning design, featuring a foldable belt and beveled or rounded horizontal surfaces that prevent the accumulation of dirt

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 128,000 people in the United States suffer from foodborne illnesses each year, resulting in 3,000 deaths To mitigate the risk of contamination and bacterial buildup, it is crucial for U S food producers to maintain clean conveyors along their processing and particles and crumbs Additionally, it offers easy accessibility for efficient cleaning and maintenance The conveyor ’ s stainlesssteel construction ensures durability and long-lasting performance

The Hygienic Conveyor provides flexibility in size range, accommodating a wide range of requirements It offers width options ranging from 5 9 to 70 inches and length options from 15 to 1377 inches, allowing it to meet the most challenging layout requirements with ease

Rotzinger combines profound knowledge and experience in robotics, buffering and conveying from Demaurex, Rotzinger and Transver, resulting in efficient systems or even new integrated products based on proven solutions North American food producers can benefit from local ser vice support, as well as the proprietary Gemini 5 0 hardware and software platform

Gemini 5 0 offers a user-friendly virtual machine display on the Human Machine Interface, enabling real-time 3D visualization As a result, operators can optimize pick and place patterns and zones, maximizing efficiency and uptime

The offline simulation mode allows for testing without physical products, reducing waste, setup time and overall total cost of ownership GN
