The total project consisted of 6 pouch handling systems whereby the handling of the sterilisation process was fully automated.
In this case, robots efficiently fill retort trays with 85 g doypack pouches and stack the trays. A transport area with bridge conveyors then takes care of loading and unloading of the retorts. When the pouches are sterilised, a robot transfers the pouches from a retort tray to a storage tray. After being in storage, and multiple flavours are produced, a multipack unloader simultaneously feeds all flavours continuous and balanced into a packaging machine
