My name is Ori Cohen. I'm with Orics Industries, and here at the PACK EXPO, we are introducing a fully automatic meal assembly line. We have a tray denester, and then we have a robot with a vision camera that picks and places new products from a conveyor, randomly orients the position, places them into the tray, and then we have our [VDF]-1000, which is a volumetric dial filler, can work with pasta and IQF products. This filler will deposit the exact amount of product, then it goes into a volumetric sauce filler, our Orics [VFMD], and a collaborative robot will pick the trays and place them on a map, the Orics PD-1000 vacuum gas flash machine or map tray ceiling.

This is a push bar machine with the twin bars that grab the trays and index them into a vacuum gas flash chamber. The package can be with less than 0.5% oxygen for extended shelf life of prepared meals, meat, dairy, fresh vegetables, salads, and all kinds of food product. The speed of the line, and the these lines can run up to 80 trails per minute, but on this machine, we're running up to 30 a minute. That's a 2-up machine. We have them as 4-up and 8-Ups this one. All the fillers can do up to 80 to 100 trails per minute.
