Automated biscuit packaging machine
Challenge

Heavy-duty packaging for high-volume biscuit production

A producer in the bakery industry producing biscuits for retail required a robust automated packaging solution capable of handling demanding, high-volume production requirements. The system needed to deliver reliable performance at speed while withstanding the rigors of continuous operation in a heavy-duty packaging environment.

Innovation

High-speed robotic packaging with built-in flexibility

AIR worked closely with the customer to fully understand their throughput demands before proposing a bespoke automated solution designed for both speed and efficiency.

  • Automated packaging machine utilizing a 2-axis robot for high-speed operation
  • Custom vacuum gripper designed to handle biscuits accurately and reliably
  • Rockwell control system for robust, industrial-grade performance
  • Tool-free adjustment to simplify setup and minimize downtime
Result

Improved throughput and streamlined case handling

The introduction of the automated biscuit packaging machine has enabled the customer to feed different case types for erection from a separate upstream machine, before loading each product layer accurately into pre-built cases.
