Less hard work on the sausage packing line

With an automated solution, the future of sausage packing is flexible, gentle and precise.

The Cabinplant sausage depositor is a fully automatic solution for alignment of portions of sausages (or similar products) in trays.

Tales of manufacturers that pay to transport workers to their factories are well known in the food industry. Faced with a shortage of employees and rising labor costs, opportunities for automated packaging are increasingly attractive to many processors.

“We know that the standard of living is going up in many parts of the world. This makes it less attractive to work on the shop floor in a food factory,” says Morten Dissing, area sales manager at Cabinplant, a supplier of food processing and packing solutions. “It was this that inspired us to develop our automated sausage depositor.”

Sausage packing has traditionally been carried out on highly labor-intensive machines, where operators ensure sausages are arranged in orderly layers ready for packaging. The Cabinplant sausage depositor takes on this role, quickly adapting to a wide variety of sausage and pack sizes.

Flexibility is a key factor for food processors that face multiple line changeovers per shift.  Cabinplant’s takes less than 15 minutes to change over to a new sausage type or pack size. “One operator can easily manage the task,” Dissing explains.
