    Robotic De-Bagger

    The H&C Robotic De-Bagger automates the removal of vacuum bags from multiple cheese block sizes.

    Also known as the De-Bagger Multi Block, or DBMB, it is capable of managing virtually any block size or type on-the-fly, without resets or staff inputs.

    It safely and reliably removes the vacuum bag to present an undamaged, uncontaminated block to the processing line every time.

    When combined with the H&C Defect and Foreign Object Detection module, the system provides unprecedented confidence that product entering the processing line is in perfect condition, free from defects and foreign objects.

    Key benefits:

    • Increased productivity with less stoppages for product changes, resets or errors
    • Risk of product contamination is removed
    • Reduced labour – allows staff to be re-deployed to higher value work
    • Eliminates manual handling, knives and associated health and safety risks for staff
    • Waste plastic is managed efficiently in specialised units
