The worldwide demand for ready meals continues to grow. Your customers’ requirements in terms of quantity, quality, and production diversity are increasingly significant. The multitude of ready meal recipes implies complexity in managing flow and cleaning between different recipes.
Ensuring food safety while maintaining productivity is one of your priorities. Therefore, the hygiene and cleanability of your lines are essential elements for delivering your orders and satisfying your customers.
Acemia offers complete material handling solutions for ready meals. From the preparation of bare products to tray placement. We also design equipment for buffer accumulation management, thermoformer or flowpack feeders, and machines dedicated to packaging management.
Oven Inlet / Outlet
To optimize the loading and unloading of your furnaces, our conveyors can perform :
- Vision control
- Re-trimming by mechanical shovel or AIMTM technology:
to ensure more homogeneous and densified filling - Ejection of non-compliant products to a manual reclaim
area
Cooling Spiral Inlet / Outlet
Our systems ensure optimum loading and unloading of your cooling spiral.
Our different technologies reorganize the number of products in continuous-flow bursts at the infeed and outfeed of the equipment.
At the same time, they provide the necessary re-drying to achieve the desired pasteurizing value.
Buffer Loading
Tray positioning and conformity are checked at the spiral exit.
Non-conforming trays are evacuated to a manual inspection station.
Compliant trays are re-bundled without pressure, using a dual-belt system, before being transferred to the packaging machine (thermoformer, opperculator, etc.).
In the event of a packaging line stoppage, the oven can be emptied via an accumulator, without any loss of material.
The horizontal accumulator can be loaded by realigning the trays on a single track, followed by an AIMTM conveyor.
Vertical / horizontal Buffer
Products are managed and temporarily stored using a multilevel buffer.
Storage capacity can be adjusted according to tray size and number of levels.
This solution makes it possible to respect (or not) the FIFO principle.
Buffer Outlet
At the exit of the multi-level buffer, an elevator transfers the products while maintaining their alignment to the primary packaging machine (tray sealer/bagger/thermoformer).
Flowpack or Thermoformeur Feeder
A succession of conveyors transports the products to your packaging solution (thermoformer or flowpack).
Our conveyors can be synchronised with your packaging equipment for automatic filling. automatically.
