Automated packaging and case packing for soft bread & buns

Streamline and automate packaging processes

The soft bread and buns automated packaging and case packing system by ULMA Packaging Spain is designed to streamline and automate the packaging process. The primary packaging phase begins with product alignment from the spiral cooler using a chicane system. This system forms two lines of products, which are then distributed by a double multiplier to various channels in the grouping module. The bundling of products is facilitated by a feeder conveyor that carries them to the Artic horizontal wrapper, equipped to work with Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) and aroma dispensing. The case packing cell features a servo-driven handler for precise stacking patterns, configurable and flexible for various box patterns. Operators can easily change and program new patterns via an intuitive Human-Machine Interface (HMI), optimizing the system’s efficiency. This single-block cell setup reduces start-up times and can accommodate varying output speeds with single or double handlers as needed.
