Egg packer automates casing and palletizing operations

Tender-touch case packers and robotics reduce breakage and increase overall efficiencies.

The filled cartons and flats are shipped in corrugated cases (15 dozen per one cubic-foot cases and 30 dozen per 1 x 2-feet cases). Cases, slip sheets, and corner guards designed to protect the delicate eggs while they are on pallets during shipment are supplied by International Paper and Falcon Packaging.

Committed to maintaining a safe and secure work environment while maximizing overall efficiencies, Forsman Farms decided to automate its egg packing operations. Forsman commissioned Massman Automation Designs, LLC to custom design, build, and integrate the system.

Plant manager Drew White says, “We chose to work with Massman Automation on designing new equipment because they are a local Minnesota company, and we strive to support area businesses and commerce. Also the Massman staff is highly professional and has a high level of expertise in automated systems. The company was able to deliver the whole package, from custom design to installation to upkeep and maintenance, in a cost-effective manner. The Massman technicians were involved in every aspect of the installation, training, and start-up, and that is part of the reason why we chose them.”
