Biscuit slug loading system
Enhance your confectionery line with high-speed, precise slug loading that integrates seamlessly, ensuring gentle handling and accurate counting of delicate snacks and biscuits.
Counts, Sorts, and Loads Biscuits and Snacks
The Gradomatic from Royal Houdijk is an engineered-to-order system tailored for high-speed loading and slug creation of biscuits, snacks, and confectionery. Utilizing a random product supply, it blends and counts products into precise slugs, achieving capacities of over 3,000 products per minute. The Gradomatic is uniquely designed for effortless integration into your packaging line, featuring open access for easy maintenance, changeovers, and cleaning.
Choose from three configurations: the Biscuit On Edge system for flowpack or tray loading, and the Dual Mode system for combined functionality. The SLUGMASTER and TRAYMASTER modules ensure synchronized operations, optimizing your production with tray denesting and seamless product handling. With user-friendly HMI settings, you can easily adjust slug counts to suit specific production needs, enhancing efficiency across biscuit manufacturers, snack producers, and bakery industries.
