Our innovations.

We developed a solution to automatically adjust the side trimming knives in our slicer feed (SLF). Previously the blades were fixed in the cutting frame, now we have a concept where the blades adjust automatically after measuring the cheese.

For crate or box packaging of salads, with a delta robot, we designed a 3D printed gripper.

One of the most difficult types of cheese to transport on a board are Edam cheeses. Because of their shape, they can easily shift and roll. This can cause problems when picking up the Edammers with a robot. In order to ensure the position of the Edammers on the shelf, we have developed an alignment station.

Last year, we tested the FlowerCollector for the entire season at a tulip grower near us in Haarlemmermeer. The FlowerCollector is a robotic solution, which collects the bunches of tulips at the end of the line and places them in a bucket. The machine can process up to 4600 bunches/hour. In 2020, we further developed this machine and now there are about four cells operational.

A recent development in the field of shelf washing is the SHW*300L; this machine is suitable for single-sided washing of cheese boards.

We have chosen (in consultation with Thermo Fisher) to make our own design weighing belt on the weighing unit of Thermo Fisher. The main reasons for this are improved hygienic design and the possibility to easily remove the belt (and therefore better cleaning).
