Pacepacker Service unveiled their new and innovative tray denester at the recent PPMA Show to help fresh produce and food manufacturers overcome production bottlenecks during the packing process. The recent surge in robotic uptake within food packing halls has resulted in improved line efficiency and speed. However, this can mean that other parts of the packing process may struggle to match the pace, leading to production bottlenecks. One example is the speed at which retail trays are fed to the line and robot. To address this, Pacepacker's new automated tray denester delivers up to 30 trays per minute to the conveyor. Responding to the need for more efficient ancillary equipment in manufacturing plants, Pacepacker designed the state-of-the-art tray denester. Richard Gladwin, Technical Director at Pacepacker, explains the logic behind the company's newest innovation: "Introducing the tray denester has allowed us to 'plug the gap' in the production line and enabled us to offer one complete automated solution as a single provider - without relying on third parties for ancillary equipment."
