A flexible & complete loading & cartoning system for the bakery industry shows the new functions of the BTG models by Cama.

On show at ALL4PACK a great example of Cama’s Unique Selling Proposition, providing experience, technology and service combining 4-axis robots and high-speed cartoner under the same hardware and software platform.
A flexible & complete loading & cartoning system for the bakery industry: symbol of the innovative systems belonging to the Break-Through Generation by Cama at the All4Pack exhibition in Paris (F), after the presentation at Fachpack 2016 in Nurnberg (D).
The BTG system is a complete system for handling of flow-packed crispy bread in piles into pre-glued cartons. The exhibited machine incorporates a Cama Triaflex Delta robot top-loading unit with a high-speed continuous motion cartoner. The combined system is designed to handle 2 different product formats in several loading configurations. Flowpacks are delivered up to 300 cpm to the CAMA line, where they are received by a vertical race track. The Cama Delta robot picks the flow wraps and places them in the right orientation onto the conveyor of the cartoning machine.
The robot creates the necessary loading pattern, giving the opportunity to handle flat and on-edge configurations, with or without product rotation into the carton.

The continuous motion cartoner side-loads the groups of flowpacks into pre-glued skillets. Speed can range, according to the different products and configuration, from 80 to 150 cartons per minute. A key differentiator for the customer is the ability to future proof the guaranteed return on investment (ROI) through the modular construction of the line, use of off-the-shelf and standardized components, and the capability to have the addition of a second loading unit in the future, providing an easy upgrade for additional production capacity.
