Vision counting system for bakery products

Achieve precise and consistent product counting with this advanced system, designed to streamline bakery and pastry operations by minimizing errors and maximizing packaging efficiency.

Counts and Batches Bakery and Pastry Products

The Vision Counting System ArgoCount-31 by Pattyn Packaging Lines is designed to optimize the handling and batching of bakery and pastry products. This specialized system utilizes a sophisticated 3D vision-based technology to ensure accurate counting and gentle processing, minimizing product stress. Ideal for bakery producers and pastry manufacturers, it processes a wide range of items, including croissants, muffins, and baguettes.

With throughput capabilities of up to 200,000 small products per hour or 13,000 baguettes per hour, the ArgoCount-31 operates smoothly in high-speed and standard configurations, processing up to 150 batches per minute. It integrates easily into existing production lines, offering seamless automation from product feeding to finished batch output, and pairs well with additional Pattyn equipment like case erectors and bag sealers for a complete packaging system.

Designed with a focus on simplicity and reliability, this system includes an easy-to-clean conveyor and a maintenance-free vision module, reducing downtime and operational costs. With its robust, low-maintenance design and flexible configuration options—single, double, or triple channel— the ArgoCount-31 meets the varied needs of industrial bakeries while handling continuous production demands.
