GEA OPTIROBOT 6000 / GEA OPTIBUFFER
The GEA OptiRobot 6000 is a new robot picker solution that offers maximum automation, low labor costs and high flexibility. It enables the automatic loading of packaging machines with differently shaped portions in various arrangements. The optional vision system and fast gripper exchange mechanism improve efficiency and reduce downtime. The integrated GEA OptiBuffer system ensures higher performance and faster reloading times.

GEA’s new robot picker solution GEA OptiRobot 6000 meets customer demands for the highest degree of automation combined with super-low labor costs and maximum flexibility. That means higher line effectiveness than ever. The new robot enables differently shaped portions (stacked, shingled, overlapped, etc.) to be loaded into a packaging machine with any kind of laying pattern – all fully automatically. Our state-of-the art gripper concept features the latest 3D technology plus an outstanding exchange mechanism for quick and easy exchange. Integrated seamlessly into our line solutions, it can be operated through any GEA SmartControl HMI.
The optional state-of-the-art vision system detects each individual portion before entering the loading area to ensure only good portions are loaded into the preformed packages. This can substantially reduce costly line stoppages. Last but not least, the new gripper exchange mechanism significantly reduces downtime by delivering the shortest change over times for different products.
The GEA OptiBuffer is an integrated, dynamic and intelligent buffer system which guarantees higher performance and faster slicer reloading times.
• High speed and versatility: product portions with different portion shapes (shingled, stacked, turned, overlapped, etc.) are automatically loaded into packaging machine
• Unbeatable integration with other GEA line solutions
• Easy to operate using any SmartControl panel in a line (no extra panel required)
• State-of-the-art gripper technology
• Short changeover times for different products thanks to new gripper exchange mechanism
• Attractive footprint
• Strong construction enables accurate positioning
Optimal efficiency because only good portions reach loading area:

La termoformatura riveste da tempo un ruolo centrale nel settore del confezionamento alimentare. Ora si trova di fronte a un cambiamento radicale. Con l'inasprirsi delle normative, l'evoluzione dei materiali e l'aumento dei costi, le linee di formatura, riempimento e sigillatura non devono solo funzionare in modo affidabile: oggi hanno un ruolo fondamentale nel garantire che gli alimenti rimangano freschi, convenienti e riciclabili. Ecco le principali tendenze nella termoformatura che stanno plasmando il confezionamento e la consegna di prodotti alimentari.

Dai frutteti del Capo agli scaffali dei negozi in 40 paesi, l’azienda sudafricana Betko ha costruito il proprio business puntando su freschezza, tempi rapidi e affidabilità. Grazie alla tecnologia di refrigerazione in atmosfera controllata di GEA, l’azienda è ora in grado di conservare mele e pere fino a 14 mesi e di ridurre il consumo energetico del 20%, il tutto grazie a una collaborazione che dura da oltre 30 anni.
