Sanitary Conveyor for End-of-Line Packaging
The AquaGard sanitary conveyor platform is engineered for moving packaged frozen food from the case sealer to the palletizer. Designed for frozen food packaging applications that require wipe-down and occasional wash-down or low-pressure cleanings with non-caustic solutions, AquaGard conveyors easily integrate with end of line robotic systems. The conveyors come in belt, modular belt and positive drive options, and can be configured in straights, curves, Z-frames and tight spaces. They feature a bolt-together 304 stainless steel frame, FDA-approved belting and plastic components, open design with minimal horizontal surfaces, and ample access for cleaning and maintenance. AquaGard models can be outfitted with automation-focused add-ons.

Space-Saving Palletizer Provides Higher Stack Patterns
The Box Bot space-saving palletizer is available as a modular or skid-based solution. The Box Bot features a long-reach Fanuc M-710IC Series robot that provides higher stack patterns, which better maximize tractor-trailer loading for more efficient shipping. It is extremely flexible, allowing an operator to design and produce exact pallet patterns of dairy products quickly and easily from bags to boxes and other product types and does so with a small footprint starting at just 8’x10’. The Box Bot uses a Venturi-style vacuum gripper to lift regular slotted cartons (RSC), half slotted containers (HSC), bags, blocks, pails and dunnage up to 60 pounds.
