Stacking and loading

Stacking & Loading Packaging Solutions

Does your process include the stacking and loading products such as fresh and frozen baked goods (pancakes, waffles, etc.), formed patties and fragile products such as tortillas?

Our stacking and loading solution unburdens your process with a patented end-effector that allows for single picks of individual products. This solution is proven to have significantly less breakage, jams and downtime than mechanical stackers, which increases your efficiency, output and continuity. Once a stack is formed, the BPA robot loads the entire stack into various horizontal form, fill and seal machines, including continuously moving flow wrapper chain infeeds or indexing thermoform machines. Accepting your product from the bulk is done with our proprietary feeding technology. This stacking and loading solution increases traditional robot productivity by up to 50%, ensuring a quick ROI on your investment.
