Ishida RobotGrader –
Fully automated weighing and optimised styling of chicken, meat and fish
into fix weight trays
Key benefits:
- takes product from your upstream processing / cutting areas and delivers accurately filled and styled fixed weight trays (meeting average weight regulations) , ready for sealing.
- packs typically 100 trays of two pieces per minute (top speed is 300 pieces per minute with grading and 400 without, this is 10 times faster than manual operation) whilst cutting giveaway per pack from typically 10% to under 1%, optimizing tray styling (no protrusion above tray rim, optimized look of product in tray), reducing labour from typically 10 to just 2-3 operators and reducing floor space by up to 30% compared with manual operation.
- Incoming products are individually weighed and subsequently scanned by shape, position and orientation, with info fed to a unique algorithm that determines the robot’s selection of pieces for each tray.
- Unique gripper design enables fast orientation and firm but gentle, clean and decisive placement in the selected tray.
- Can handle up to 4 different tray types simultaneously whilst allow quick tray changeovers via the touch screen.
- Optional bulk packing for unsuitable size or shaped pieces and where customers demand a narrow weight band.
- Easy integration with ERP / control systems, allowing quick product changeovers and easy adjustment of settings via a single touch screen. Tray guides can be moved
in seconds without stopping the packing process.
- Hygienic design for rapid and effective in-place washdown with foam and high pressure water.
- Can pack into top seal trays and thermoform pockets and overwrap trays
