Brillopak, the automated packing and palletising systems specialist, has introduced a new robotic palletiser designed for fresh fruit and vegetables

The new Brillopak Compact C211 is capable of placing a variety of container formats including crates, cases and trays onto pallets. The Compact C211 features highly compact dimensions, far smaller than conventional robot cells, which enable the machine to fit easily into even the smallest of factory spaces or to integrate with other packing equipment to provide a complete line solution.

The machine can palletise crates and cases at the rate of up to 30 per minute dependent on application.  A multi-purpose end effector enables it to handle multiple sizes and a simple-to-use touchscreen with pre-set recipe function ensures easy operation and fast changeovers.

“We have listened closely to the market in the development of this machine,” said Brillopak director David Jahn. “The Compact C211 satisfies the main requirements for fruit and vegetable end of line packing in terms of speed, efficiency and user-friendliness and provides the flexibility to enable companies to respond to changing retailer requirements.”

Additional machines in the Compact C range include the Brillopak C1 11 crate packer for a wide range of pre-packed fresh produce, C250 crate de-stacker, BK750 pallet stacker/de-stacker, crate bale arm closing unit, vision systems and Ethernet connection for remote access and support.
