The 4-axis SCARA robot line has grown to include the SR-3iA, SR-6iA, SR-12iA and new SR-20iA models with 3kg, 6kg, 12kg and 20kg payload capacities, and a 400-1,100mm reach. The small SR-3iA and SR-6iA have compact footprints and space-saving designs for maximum efficiency. In addition, the SR-3iA/H and SR-6iA/H are 3-axis variants that provide strong performance and an affordable alternative to small linear slide products. The higher-payload SR-12iA and SR-20iA provide flexibility with a large vertical stroke, and an environmental option for harsh conditions. All robots include superior robot motion, high-speed operation and ultimate precision. Power comes from the R-30iB Compact Plus controller, and robots include integrated iRVision®, conveyor tracking and more.

The electric-actuated Hygienic HydroPulse Spray Nozzles (EHP) assure precision volumes of expensive ingredients are sprayed directly onto your food processing target, with overspray waste virtually eliminated. Pair with the BETE FlexFlow™ Precision Spray Control System to achieve uniform coverage, even at adjusted conveyor speeds. The HydroPulse spray nozzles do not require a compressed air source and are capable of cycling on/off up to 150 cycles per second. This affords the option of using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to vary the liquid spray flow rate at constant supply pressure with little change in spray performance by adjusting the duty cycle.

Apex 1.0 is an economical spraying system designed for clean and efficient spraying of sheens, glazes, preservatives, egg wash, oils and sugar solutions. The sprayer can apply a topical coating to buns, breads, pastries, flat breads and rolls. Using the proprietary dispensing design, the spraying system eliminates problems associated with plugging of spray nozzles. All liquid not applied to the product is recovered and used, eliminating waste and saving on ingredient cost. An enclosed self-contained system hood and body ensures mist containment, providing a safe and sanitary environment around the spraying station. Clean-up is a simple hot water wash, sanitize and rinse. Available in standalone, portable and retrofit to existing line configurations. Learn More

The Mistcoater uses spinning disks to atomize liquids instead of using spray nozzles to coat dry solids. The Mistcoater ends the struggle with a clogged nozzle. Made with food grade construction, APEC's Mistcoater is suitable for snacks, cereals, granola and nuts. The fully enclosed unit keeps the area clean and free of fugitive particles, which also cuts down on waste.

A new spraying system utilizing GOE’s proprietary VPLS design now with enhanced spray distribution and accuracy. Designed to meet the latest ANSI Z50.2 and GMA sanitation standards the system features open access to all components while eliminating concealed zones. The sprayer will accurately spray various liquids and slurries for topical coating of crackers, buns, flat breads, snack crackers, rolls, cookies, breads, pastries, doughs and pretzels. All liquid or slurry not applied to product is recovered, eliminating waste. Mist containment provides a safe, sanitary environment. Learn More

E2G industrial pressure transducer is available in three additional variations for use in hazardous locations. Each is equipped with reliable sensing technology, yielding pressure ranges from vacuum to 20,000 psi as well as absolute ranges up to 500 psi. Models E2F (explosion proof), the E2S (intrinsically safe) and the E2X (explosion proof /intrinsically safe) carry FM, ATEX and IECEx approvals as well as an IP66 or 67, NEMA 4X-rated enclosure to protect against water and humidity. Offset and span adjustments are incorporated within the housing and can be externally adjusted with a magnet for added safety. Learn More

The addition of load cell technology in C-Series checkweighing systems are setting new standards for speed and precision that allow industry-leading throughputs. FlashCell™ load cells weigh food products at speeds of up to 800 ppm with precision better than required by Measuring Instrument Directive (MID). Three load cell types are in the FlashCell portfolio so food manufacturers can select the appropriate load cell for their products, weighing a complete product range up to 10 kg. They also come in smaller footprints for limited floor space. Learn More

Wooster Products’ NITEGLOW® emergency egress system includes high-quality photoluminescent (glow in the dark) products to illuminate stair treads, handrails, door handles, door frames and obstructions for safe evacuation in a dark environment. The two-stage, anti-slip stair nosing meets NYC Local Law 26, 2015 IBC and 2015 IFC code compliance. Photoluminescent abrasive provides a higher coefficient of friction (and more secure footing) than products without abrasive. The product is suited for new construction and retrofit code compliance upgrades. Heat-treated corrosion-resistant aluminum substrate and a nearly diamond-hard aluminum oxide filler assures long tread life under heavy pedestrian traffic. Bright, long lasting photoluminescent epoxy filler extends uniformly throughout the filler. Available in lengths up to 8’0”.

New RT200 control system with integrated OPC UA server offers maximum flexibility for digitalization in the production process. The central concept of digitalization is data exchange of all the process and machine data across the network and to higher-level IT systems such as MES, ERP and PPS. All peripheral machines, devices and systems in the production process communicate with one another. This enables real-time process optimizations leading to higher productivity, reduced downtime, optimized machine capacity and improved product quality. Benefits include cost reductions compared to plant manufacturer's own solutions; problem-free continued use of the temperature control unit in a new or upgraded system; technical improvement and increased reliability due to a temperature control unit.
