CENTRE OF PACKAGING LINE DRY PART

In the majority of food production line installations, automated equipment is used to palletize bulk products.
These pallet loads are then stored temporarily in warehouses, during which the integrity of the primary package is controlled, before product is conveyed to a secondary packaging process.
These steps are required to check for any microbiological agents, which could evolve in the product.

PRODUCTS PER MINUTE

Clevertech supplies low level and highlevel palletizers and depalletizers for bulk containers, which can be stored in a pallet, in a tray or in a basket.

Regardless of the shape of the containers, which can be cylindrical, square, rectangular, Clevertech has an appropriate solution. Vacuum picking, magnetic transfer, or mechanical sweep-off technologies can also be adapted to the end user’s needs.The maximum performance achievable in the center packaging line for dry end-products is 1,500 products per minute.
To achieve these output levels, Clevertech configures systems with dedicated robotic arms for each material to be individually handled during primary packaging, including tie sheets, slip sheets, top frames, and empty pallets.

DIFFERENT FLAVORS IN SPEED PER MINUTE

During the depalletization of bulk-filled containers, many food and beverage producers need the flexibility to handle multi-flavor packaging.

Clevertech has developed and successfully installed innovative systems that are capable of meeting these multi-flavor requirements.
The process starts from a single feed point, where products with bulk containers are inserted into the packaging line, where a movable shuttle takes them into different depalletizing areas. At this point, the products are fed, using a dedicated conveyor, into the secondary packaging system.
Cans, bottles, flexible containers are all part of the Clevertech experience and the systems can handle up to six different flavor depalletizers and conveyors, at a rate of 180 pieces per minute per flavor.

30%

SPACE REDUCTION COMPARED TO INDUSTRY STANDARD

Thanks to the experience developed in the single- and multi-flavor bulk depalletizing systems, Clevertech understands the market demand for mixed products.

It is important to consider that these systems offer an affordable capex investment, and they must fit in a small footprint.
Low capex investments are essential because multi-flavored packaging, which is often distributed in a highly competitive market, needs to occupy minimum space, because the producer must keep the larger parts of the factory for generating the highest profits. Clevertech, with its combination of low- and high-level solutions, supplies to all major multinationals in the FMCG sector, with systems that are designed to help customers save at least 30% of the normal footprint required for standard solutions.

PALLETIZING & DEPALLETIZING SOLUTIONS

In FOOD & PET FOOD production, sometimes, after the autoclave treatment, products need to be stored temporarily in warehouses. Clevertech provides dynamic solutions that offer palletizing and depalletizing bulk products, which arrive from storage areas.

Clevertech’s solutions for the center of the packaging line, have two possible set ups: floor level installation or high level with operating platform; these can be customized according to the customer needs.

Clevertech systems can handle any type of container that comes from the front packaging line using three different type of product handling:

Pneumatic
Magnetic
Mechanic

Long-term partnerships with world-leading FMCG companies allow Clevertech to understand that even minimum defects in bulk palletization or depalletization processes can lead to line stoppages.

As a result, Clevertech has developed automated solutions coupled to cameras systems.

These are linked to the robotic pick-and-place activities and can adapt them in real time according to the product presentation on the conveyor.
