All the right (robotic) moves for fine pralines

A modular system with six sub-machines and a custom vibration conveyor gently packs pralines into trays and cartons at 500 packs/min.

Backed by 150 years of tradition, Polish confectioner Mieszko specializes in the creation of premium praline products filled with ingredients such as fresh fruit, crunchy nuts, rich liqueurs, and fine spirits. Its delectable sweets are so popular among Polish chocolate lovers that it sells more than 1.5 million boxes of its Amoretta cream-filled pralines each year alone, manufactured in its two plants in Ratibor, near Katowice, in southern Poland.

One of its most popular products is its Cherrissimo pralines, made from dark chocolate, cherries, dry alcohol, andfruit juice. The hemisphere-shaped chocolates are wrapped in colorful foil and are offered in formats that range from small gift packages to large assortment boxes. In order to meet increasing demand for this praline variety, Mieszko decided to automate the presorting and packaging process for Cherrissimo.
