Mixed product trays
Automation specialist Pacepacker Services has developed a new offline, portable Mixed Tray Loader pick-and-place system to quickly generate assorted trays of product.
The product swap unit, known as the Mixed Tray Loader (MTL), has already been installed at one UK manufacturer of own-label dips. An MTL with a pneumatic Cartesian pick-and-place system positioned over twin lanes of filled trays has been installed.
The picking heads remove one line of product from the first tray, and places it into the second. The process is then reversed to swap items in both trays.
