FOOD ASSEMBLY ROBOTICS

FURTHER AUTOMATE PREPARED FOOD ASSEMBLY WITH ROBOTS

Grote’s robotic solutions automate food and ingredient handling, alignment and positioning, and more to make a wide range of prepared foods we have decades of experience in.

Increase production with less manual labor with these flexible, hygienic high-care robots.

HIGH CARE FOOD PROCESSING ROBOTICS

Further automate food assembly lines for prepared food products like frozen pizza, snack foods, frozen and ready meals, food to-go, and ready-to-eat foods.  

Increased Accuracy & Production

Robots perform with high accuracy and consistency – ideal for high-volume, repetitive tasks. Application rates up to 100/minute/robot.

LABOR SAVINGS

Eliminate labor and handling where they’ve always been needed throughout your processing line. Save several operators per shift.

SANITARY DESIGN

Robots, 3D vision systems, and end-of-arm tooling are designed to the same hygienic standards as food processing equipment – enabling quick and thorough washdowns.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT

We design and configure robotic solutions precisely for your application. And we’re here to support you once it’s in operation.

Hygienic Robots

We work with proven industrial robot manufacturers like Stäubli to integrate hygienic, high-performing robots into our processing lines.

Choose from 4 or 6-axis and Delta robots custom configured to your operation.

END EFFECTORS FOR FOOD PRODUCTION

We custom configure end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) for each robotic application – ensuring accurate and consistent performance. End effectors can be easily removed for sanitation and changed to accommodate multiple SKUs.

3D Vision System

3D vision allows the robot to see the entire form and shape of targets, significantly improving accuracy for singular, grouped, and irregular products.
