This case highlights Autron Tech's efficient and versatile packaging solution for a fresh food producer. The line seamlessly automates the primary and secondary packaging of individual pizzas, transforming manual loading into a robust, high-throughput process suitable for retail distribution.
System Workflow:
1. Manual Loading & Conveyance: Operators place individual pizzas onto the food-grade conveyor belt, initiating the automated packaging process.
2. Primary Pouch Packaging: Each pizza is automatically fed into a horizontal flow-wrapper, which encapsulates it in a protective film bag. The bag is sealed, ensuring product freshness and hygiene.
3. Tightening with Shrink-Wrapping: The bagged pizza then enters a heat tunnel. The applied heat shrinks the film tightly around the product, creating a sleek, professional appearance that enhances shelf appeal.
4. Automatic Cartoning & Sealing: The shrink-wrapped pizza is automatically collated and pushed into a pre-formed cardboard carton. The box is securely sealed using a hot-melt adhesive system, providing a strong, tamper-evident closure that withstands the rigors of the cold chain.
Value Delivered:
This Autron system streamlines production by bridging manual and automated operations. It significantly boosts output while ensuring a consistent, secure, and market-ready package. The robust carton sealing guarantees product integrity from the factory to the store shelf.
