SmartPack is a packaging machine for bags of powders and granules completely robotic which not only bags (dosing the product and filling the bag) but also palletises the bag, all this by a single robot which integrates both functions. Its compact layout allows to install it in narrow places or on mobile repositionable platforms. The versatility of the anthropomorphic robot allows to reconfigure the layout as required, by repositioning the destination pallets, the picking trays of the empty bag and the dosing heads. The flexibility of the six-axis system allows to change bag size/material in no time and handle more bagging heads by the same robot, even allowing to bag more products at the same time with the same plant. Thanks to the advanced graphic interface, the system can be easily managed by unskilled operators. Once a product has been configured according to type of packaging, packaged weight and type of palletization, SmartPack stores the data in a recipe that can later be recalled also by a bar code. Dosing process can be in different configurations , gross weight, net weight or by screw conveyor, gravity, turbine or vibration feeder. In all cases it's designed paying attention to cleaning needs. SmartPack is offered for two bag types and in different basic configurations that can be customised as required.

SmartPick is a robotic cell where bags are de-palletized and opened with a cutting system and it is composed of : * One or more fix pallet stations or roller conveyors to make pallet enter the robot area * One multiaxial anthropomorphic robot that, thanks to a patented gripping head equipped with sensors system and to SmartPick-AT software, can recognize, depalletize and pick one bag at a time * One or more bag cutting and emptying station (bag cutting hopper) * One or more compacting units for empty bags * Dedicated SmartPick-AT software with a simple and intuitive interface SmartPick: * depalletizes and cuts bags in automatic mode from one or more pallet positioned in one or more cutting stations. * manages, stores, sets recipes. * manages the traceability of raw material. * manages pallet call from the storehouse. * is protected by five patents which include bag-cutter system, bag gripping, bag cleaning, bag opening/cutting, bag emptying, and software. * Is the only bag-opening / bag-emptying system in the world certified by several multinational corporations for food, baby food, and pharma * has been approved by ASL as the solution to overcome problems coming from bag handling and exposure to powders. * is easy to clean (production change involves only suction of a hopper) and by installing more hoppers * is modular and can be configured to handle from 1 to 20 pallet at the entry side and as many emptying stations. The robotic depalletization system has been created to handle bags and it has been also adjusted for the handling of boxes and palletized drums, in order to put the contents into the process quickly and safely

SmartTipping is a robotic solution for micro ingredients recipes preparation. Unlimited flexibility and modularity thanks to multi-patented robotic Smart technology designed by Sacchi. SmartTipping system coordinates dosing of "n" small containers with feeding capabilities into the robot working area, in order to execute the dosing sequence, set in the recipe. The mini-batch is collected into a bucket or in a bag, codified by bar code printing or by RFID and finally conveyed to the process machines or directly poured into the mixer. Containers-feeders can be of different types and are selected according to category of products to be dosed. Screw feeder Twin-screw feeder Belt feeder Gravity feeder Containers-feeders can be fixed or removable when necessary (they can be placed in the warehouse and taken back to the production line when necessary) SmartBatch software manages all the process. The system can be directly interfaced to the factory MES software using both standard and customized protocols.

Producing the highest quality snacks, whether they’re biscuits, crisps, cereal, pizza or bread, always starts by preparing the perfect dough. Every snack or food is made unique by adding one or more creams, flavourings, seasonings or by dipping it in chocolate! Our engineers are experienced in creating concepts for the automation of the storage, sieving, dosing and blending of dry and wet ingredients such as flour, starch, sugar, salt, yeast, oils and fat for producing dough and cream in a lean and clean way and adhering to the highest hygiene food standards.

The magnetic mat is developed according to the requirements of the food industry and is designed to minimize the transfer of metal particles (from workplace, construction sites and outside) to the production zones.

Sollau Magnet Separators remove metal contaminations at the source. By placing the separator in a product stream (free fall or liquid), the metal particles can be caught and removed automatically or manually from the product stream. In general terms, there are three types of magnetic separator: plate / block magnets, rod magnets and cylinder-shaped magnetic separators. We would be happy to advise you which magnetic separator is the most suited to your situation.
