Drake, an expert in the food processing industry, introduces advancements to the CF-600-R Loader, showcasing its commitment to innovation and sustainability in food handling technology. As part of the Middleby Food Processing group, Drake continues to set standards for efficiency and sanitation in the industry.
The CF-600-R is a centrifugal bowl feeder and designed to handle a wide array of products beyond traditional cylindrical foods like hot dogs and sausages. Featuring a cutting-edge centrifugal feeding bowl and an automated robotic arm for pick-and-place operations, it offers unparalleled versatility in product handling. With the ability to load up to 600 pieces per minute per robot, the CF-600R ensures a 98% fill rate, optimizing throughput and minimizing human contact.
What sets the CF-600R apart is its customizable configuration, allowing for one or two centrifugal feeders and single or dual-lane output. This flexibility, combined with its robust design using 83.6% recycled stainless steel, underscores Drake's commitment to sustainability and long-lasting performance. The integration of FANUC robotics and Rockwell Automation’s touch screen HMI ensures reliable, easy-to-use operation with global support.
Drake's legacy in the food processing industry is rooted in a history of innovation, having pioneered methods for loading sausages and hot dogs that have become industry benchmarks. With over 1,700 machines sold worldwide, Drake's impact is profound, processing 2.9 million food products per minute globally.
The CF-600R is not just a machine—it's a solution that enhances food safety and production efficiency at the end of production lines. Its integration with modern technology like vision rejection and blue light sanitation systems reflects Drake's commitment to leading in both innovation and food safety.
