The new equipment expands the company’s lineup with technology reportedly engineered to improve detection performance and reduce false rejects in demanding snack and bakery processing applications.
The Kestrel system feeds products onto a custom collation conveyor that precisely aligns them for robotic gang-picking, consolidating processes, and reducing wear parts.
Customers of machines that handle puffing and extruding of snack and bakery products are focused on accommodating protein- and plant-based inclusions, hygienic design and rapid cleaning, speed and quick changeovers, better integrated controls, easy data extraction, and smaller machines that can produce specialized batches.
