Stable Tray Feeding for Packaging Lines
Automatic Tray Denesting and Product Loading
The tray denester and product loading system is designed for automatic feeding of trays and packaging containers into filling, dosing or sealing lines.
The system separates trays from a stack, places them into the correct position and keeps a stable flow for further product filling. It can be synchronized with dosing units, conveyors, tray sealers or other packaging equipment to reduce manual handling and improve line stability.
The solution is suitable for ready meals, salads, spreads, aspic products, pâtés and other liquid, semi-viscous or portioned food products.
