JLS: Automatic chub loader

Automating this process due to the shape and size variance of the chub has always been seen as a challenge to food processors. Using the JLS Osprey robotic case packer as a base, special modifications and tooling were added to develop the innovative Osprey CL automatic chub loader. The system features single or dual ABB IRB 360 FlexPicker robots, which are the most sanitary picking robots on the market. The entire system comes in a small footprint, saving processors valuable floor space. Speeds range from 125 chubs/min (single-head robot) up to 200 chubs/min (dual-head robot) depending on chub size, weight and pack pattern.
