The DCG’s discharge belt lowered and deposited the cakes gently and in a controlled manner onto the downstream cross belt. Due to its gentle handling, the distribution station is ideally suited for delicate baked goods or sticky bar products.
Once the sliced cakes were discharged onto the packaging leg, the FIT inline module continuously fed them to the flow wrapping machine while preventing products from accumulating along the way. Linear motors ensure gentle handling of the sensitive products. Each mover can be controlled and only accelerates when the product has been safely captured. This means that the individual sliced cakes do not come into contact with each other, which in turn reduces mechanical stress. In addition to gentle handling, the FIT impresses with its high flexibility: Operators can switch between different formats at the push of a button via the HMI.
