Sanitation is a critical concern for many of our customers, especially those in the protein and dairy markets. The robotic Osprey Tray Loader <link to TL page> is meticulously designed to meet strict hygiene standards. 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.

Read on to explore what sets the Osprey TL’s hygienic design apart from other options.  

Standard Hygienic Tray Loader Features That Improve Food Safety & Simplify Washdown 

This robotic tray loader is designed with hygiene in mind. Standard features that complement your food safety efforts include:

🦅 An all-stainless steel frame 

🦅 Food-safe end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) 

🦅 Round tube frame construction 

🦅 Smooth, continuous welds 

🦅 Sloped surfaces for easy runoff 

🦅 Accessible, open cable management 

🦅 Motorized conveyors that are easy to wash down  

🦅 Stand-offs throughout eliminating harborage areas 

 


Simplify Sanitation with Delta Robots that Withstand Repeated Washdown 

The Osprey incorporates IP65-rated delta robots designed to withstand wet conditions.

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.  

 

 

 

Maintain Hygienic Integrity with Vacuum Tooling 

This machine also includes an onboard vacuum solution that maintains the hygienic integrity 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. 

Get the Protection Your Products Require with Hygienic Design 

JLS’ level three construction comes standard with this hygienic tray loader to meet your needs. The Osprey TL features round tubing to eliminate flat surfaces where water can accumulate. This ensures efficient water runoff. Such a design choice is crucial for maintaining a hygienic environment and preventing contamination. 

Designed with a strong focus on hygiene, this robotic tray loading solution is an excellent choice for industries where sanitation is paramount. Its thoughtful construction and robust cleaning capabilities ensure that it meets the highest standards of cleanliness, providing peace of mind to our customers.
