At this year’s ProSweets exhibition, Gerhard Schubert GmbH will give visitors the opportunity to view a picker line for chocolate bears, cookies, candies and much more. The line will run in non-stop operation and features transmodules as transport elements. Transmodules are intelligent vehicles driven by a servomotor and performing numerous transport tasks. Schubert transmodules have been integrated in packaging machines with great success since September 2008.
Initially, the transmodules only had point-to-point control, which was suitable for intermittent operation. But now, transmodules are driven with continuous-line control and used for continuous operation or for a combination of cyclical and continuous movement. Because of this feature, they work particularly well with a transport system for picker lines.
