London Chocolate Forum Exhibitor Preview Limitless combinations and capabilities
Cama comprehensive machine portfolio comprises covers all possible packaging formats so you don’t need to compromise. Cama will have a concept, style, speed, throughput and size that perfectly matches your product and your application
T
hese solutions have been developed over decades to meet the precise needs of multiple industries. Full industry 4.0 capabilities with smart automation, electronic axis control and fully integrated in-house developed robots for the core
of lines, standalone and monobloc modular architectures that adapt to what you need now and why you will need in the future. Premium technology, cabinet-free frameworks and hygienic
design principals are coupled to an easy-to-follow visual machine management system, backed by extensive immersive technology and remote access capabilities. The confect ionery
industry uses a huge range of packaging styles, arrays and formats, so you need packaging technology that doesn’t stand still. You need a partner that can help you not only keep up with market demands, but also take the lead. Containers, flow packs, tablets, bars… on edge, flat,
vertical… cases, cartons, boxes, trays – the combination are limitless and so are our capabilities. We can help you design eye-catching packaging concepts, and then design, build and deliver the technology that will create these concepts… accurately, repeatedly and at speed. A good example of how our expertise supported a customer on winning his challenge has been our line sold to Hawaiaanhost company: naked chocolate products, three shapes, 15 packaging formats and 1,500 ppm throughput.
The turnkey line that
Cama developed is highly specialised and is designed specifically to handle the demands of this particular packaging exercise.
In
operation, robots equipped with Gimatic grippers are used to pick naked chocolates from feed rows a conveyor and then gently place them into PET trays that arrive in parallel from a de- nester. The chocolates’ quality, shape and position on the belt are determined using a special 3D laser scanner supplied by Univision. Once each tray is full, they are loaded singly or in pairs (with
a cushion sheet) into carton tray, before a lid is formed and tucked into the tray, the finished product being a completed box containing anything from four to 32 chocolates. The boxes are then fed through an X-Ray machine and check weigher before heading to a case packer at the end of the line. The variables in this solution demand a digitalised solution,
which Cama has perfected over the last five years. This line benefits from our full Industry 4.0 offering and is one of the first to deploy our new AI-driven line supervisor software. And to keep uptime to an absolute maximum, it exploits our ‘toolless’ RFID-managed changeover solution and an automated gripper system, both of which help deliver some of the fastest batch-swap routines in the industry. The digitalised approach also makes operator training,
machine interactions and maintenance routines simpler, thanks to immersive augmented reality (AR).
