Volumetric injector LFB

automated

GEA has worked in close consultation with the bread production sector to design and develop the automated LFB bread cutting and injecting machine for producing baguettes filled with different sauces. The LFB bread filling lines from GEA represent state-of-the-art solutions for filling baguette loaves. As the baguettes go out from the cooling section, they are transferred by an automated, robotic loading system onto a conveyor with interchangeable platens. As the loaves then progress along the conveyor an adjustable, motorized saw makes angled cuts and the filling is injected into the cuts using a depositor with independent volumetric cylinders. The depositor features a no product, no filling recirculation system that minimizes waste by stopping injection of the filling if a baguette is missing from the queue on the platen. After the injection process another robot can transfer the filled baguettes to another conveyor for transport to the freezing or packaging area.
