VIT developed a fully automated product mixing system for the food industry, designed to precisely combine a customizable number of different product types—delivered in carton trays—into new trays, following either predefined or user-defined mixing patterns.The solution offers a high level of flexibility, traceability, and hygiene compliance, tailored to dynamic production environments.
The system was built as a compact monoblock unit mounted on an aluminum frame, fully enclosed with plexiglass safety doors. This structure ensured easy relocation within the facility and full visual access for operators while meeting food industry standards for safety and cleanliness.
Technical Applications
Three synchronized conveyors fed the individual product types to the central mixing point, where the system automatically prepared new cartons according to selected patterns. Completed mixed cartons were then transferred to the exit conveyors for downstream processing or packing.
A user-friendly touchscreen interface allowed operators to:
- Choose from predefined mixing patterns
- Create and apply custom patterns on the fly
- Monitor system status and manage operations with ease
Equipped with all required safety features, the system immediately stops operation if any door accidentally opens, ensuring full operator protection.
This project reflects VIT’s ability to deliver intelligent, hygienic, and mobile automation solutions, specifically designed for flexible packaging applications in the food industry.
