WWFE 2005 | wrap-up
HITEC was introduced in the article of WWFE in MMT (2005, January)
The following is the extract from MMT. Show stoppers - PROCESS AUTOMATION/ROBOTICS
AEW Delford Systems' Intelligent Portion Control Robot (IPL Robot) will pick up portions or
groups of products such as bacon,cooked or fresh meat,fish,cheese or poultry
and place them into trays or a thermoformer. The IPL Robot uses vision
technology to accurately identify the position and orientation of the incoming
portions. This enables the machine's unique pick-up to lift, turn and transfer
the portions to the pack with great accuracy ...Hitec Food Equipment showed off a
fully automatic sausage linking and loading system. After sausages are stuffed by the linking machine
and hung on hanging conveyor, they are automatically unloaded using smoke sticks and then loaded
into the oven. The system can accommodate various types of casing and requires only one operator.
