Automated cold cuts loading system
Optimize your production line with a flexible side loading solution designed for precise handling, grouping, and portioning of cold cuts and deli products while ensuring hygienic operations and high throughput.

Loads, Groups, and Portions Food Products
The SmartLoader from Weber Food Technology is a fully automatic loading solution that precisely portions and groups products for the food processing industry. This equipment utilizes a servo-motor-driven conveyor system, featuring retraction belts for efficient handling of individual products or entire portions. Ideal for applications including cheese, bacon, deli meats, and plant-based products, it creates consistently accurate portion formats with the capability for overlapping. The SmartLoader supports up to 120 products or portions per minute, with individual slice output reaching up to 170 slices per minute per track depending on size.
Engineered for seamless integration into your production line, the SmartLoader interfaces smoothly with upstream and downstream processes through its hygienic design, significantly enhancing workflow efficiency. With PLC control and a user-friendly interface, the SmartLoader ensures easy operation and quick adaptability to different product types and formats. Its compact design, with configurable pulling lengths and foil widths, allows for flexible installation even in space-constrained facilities.
Equipped for rigorous food safety standards, the SmartLoader facilitates easy cleaning and maintenance, minimizing downtime and optimizing productivity. Supported by Weber’s engineering expertise, customization options are available to tailor the SmartLoader to your specific production needs, ensuring it meets the unique requirements of your operations.
