GEA has developed the SMR depanner to automate the otherwise heavy manual task of overturning baking trays to release their products. The platform gently handles the trays to ensure that the shape, integrity and quality of even the most delicate cakes or pastries is retained.
The SMR depanner comprises a frame and servo-motor-driven rotary belt for overturning the trays and transferring the products. The operation efficiently and accurately delivers and positions the products on to the next conveyor, for transfer to subsequent processing or packaging stations. The highly robust system can depan many trays per cycle to meet high capacity production requirements, while maintaining gentle handling and precision when placing the overturned tray. A smaller version of the SMR depanner is also available, and can be used either to depan products by overturning, or to turn trays upside down for subsequent cleaning.
