Automatic sleeving for rolled and molded cones
In confectionery production, ensuring every cone is efficiently and accurately sleeved is crucial to maintaining product consistency and minimizing waste. Traditional manual sleeving can be time-consuming and error-prone, leading to a bottleneck in the production process and increased operational costs.
Automate the sleeving of cones
The Franz Haas KFM-H automatic sleeving machine by Bühler addresses the challenge of precise and efficient sleeving in large-scale confectionery production. This machine automates the sleeving process by pulling single sleeves from a horizontal stack using a vacuum suction cup and placing them on a stacking band where either rolled or molded cones are slipped into the sleeves. It features automatic detection of cone types to ensure no sleeves are wasted. An integrated monitoring system alerts operators when the sleeve stock is low, reducing downtime. The precision sleeving mechanism ensures only one sleeve is pulled at a time, preventing jams and ensuring consistent product quality.
