Sanitation is a critical concern for many of our customers, especially those in the protein and dairy markets. The robotic Osprey Tray Loader is meticulously designed with cleanable construction for washdown environments. Utilizing advanced 2D or 3D vision systems, it accurately locates, picks up and places trays into cases with customized end-of-arm tooling (EOAT), ensuring ultimate repeatability and continuous operation–all without ever having a human hand touch your products.

This rating ensures that the robots can be cleaned thoroughly without compromising their functionality, making them ideal for environments where frequent washdowns are necessary.

Optionally, you can choose IP69K-rated delta robots for applications with the strictest requirements.  

 

 

 

Keep Tooling Clean with Vacuum on Board 

This machine also includes an onboard vacuum solution that supports the cleanability of the equipment throughout the loading process. This feature, known as Vacuum on Board (VOB) technology, ensures the trays are handled gently and securely. VOB has no moving parts and is virtually clog-free by nature.
