Robotic pick and place platform for food packaging
Enhance your packaging efficiency and product quality with a scalable robotic system designed to streamline high-speed operations, reduce manual labor, and ensure precise handling of diverse items from frozen pastries to pharmaceutical capsules in continuous production environments.
Automates Product Handling and Packaging Processes
The Syntegon Robotic Pick and Place Platform (RPP) offers a game-changing solution for diverse industries seeking to advance their packaging operations. This modular platform excels in automating product handling and placement with precision and efficiency.
Using integrated delta robots, the RPP system provides seamless product loading into trays or cartons, capable of achieving up to 140 picks per minute per robot, optimizing high-speed environments. Its design supports applications across pharmaceuticals, bakery products, confectionery, dairy, and more, enhancing operations from ampoules to chocolate bars.
With its compact footprint, the RPP is PLC-controlled, supporting remote monitoring and smart interface integration for scalable capacity adjustments. Its construction in stainless steel offers superior hygienic operations and compliance with rigorous industry standards, including IP65 protection for wash-down scenarios. The platform’s vision-guided inspection technologies ensure tight quality control, identifying and removing any defective products in the process.
Syntegon’s RPP system includes quick-change end-of-arm tooling for format flexibility, supporting gentle and safe product handling while reducing contamination risks. It simplifies cleaning with its open-channel, self-draining design, paired with optional CIP systems. Custom configurations and engineering support are available to tailor the platform to your specific production demands, ensuring streamlined integration into existing production lines.
