Robots for the automatic packaging of jars and cans

Our robotic packaging systems are suitable for virtually all food products in jars and cans. These include soups, sauces, pesto, mustard, jams, preserves, honey, canned vegetables, pickles, red cabbage, sauerkraut, beets, mushrooms, antipasti, chutneys, spreads, pâtés, and ready meals in jars. Each system is individually designed for the specific product.

Our packaging robots can automatically pack glass containers, cans, and other food packaging into cartons. Depending on the project, grippers, conveyor technology, and control systems are optimally adapted to the specific packaging.

Yes. Depending on the requirements, packaging robots can be designed for one format or for several glass sizes. Format changes can also be implemented quickly and easily, depending on the project.

The performance of a robotic packaging system depends on various factors, such as product size, packaging pattern, conveyor technology, and movement sequences. Each system is individually designed according to the desired production output.

Packaging robots can implement a wide variety of packing patterns, such as 2 × 6, 2 × 8, 3 × 4, or customer-specific arrangements. The desired packing pattern is defined during the project planning phase.

The jars are first arranged in the desired configuration on a grouping conveyor. The robot then picks up the entire group of jars with a specially designed gripper and precisely places them into the carton. Optionally, the jars can then be transferred to a carton sealer or palletizing robot.

Depending on the product, vacuum grippers, mechanical grippers, or combined gripper systems are used. The selection is made individually and depends on the weight, shape, and surface of the packaging.

Yes. Our robotic cells can be integrated into both new production lines and existing packaging lines. Existing conveyor technology, carton erectors, or carton sealers can often still be used.

Our packaging robots are primarily used in the food industry, for example by manufacturers of delicatessen products, soups, sauces, jams, honey, canned goods, ready meals and spreads.

Yes. Many of our systems are modular in design. This allows for the later addition of extra packaging formats, further gripper systems, or additional automation steps.

Automated carton packaging reduces manual labor, increases process reliability, improves packaging quality, and ensures consistently high performance. At the same time, glass packaging is handled with particular care.

To design a robotic packaging system, we need information on the product configuration, packaging sizes, carton dimensions, and desired production output, among other things.
