Robotic Palletizing

Robotic Palletizing – FOCUS Integration introduces an exciting new “modular” palletizing concept… CARBON. CARBON consists of modular units which can be assembled and put together like pieces of a puzzle to create a robotic palletizing cell. Unique with this puzzle is that each piece can go in any location and in any orientation to fit the layout requirements of each application.

Testimonials

“We have 150 employees throughout the year, but need up to 700 during harvest. Finding employees has become difficult and it’s also getting more expensive to employ them. Büh-ler’s sorting technology has enabled us to keep our labor cost under control, plus I can trust the SORTEX F to accurately and reliably sort our figs 24/7.”

Kevin Herman, The Specialty Crops Company

"Trying to convince ownership to switch from traditional aspiration to the SuperVac was tough, but after demo's and Chandler Automation’s attention to detail we have purchased 3 units. We use them on wet or dry applications from hulling to packaging. The ability to fine tune the machines to exact specifications is exceptional. Follow up and service is great."
