Sandwich Assembly Robotics

HIGH CARE SANDWICH-MAKING ROBOTICS

Grote’s robotic solutions automate bread and ingredient handling on sandwich assembly lines. Whether square sandwiches, wraps, buns, or paninis, fresh or frozen, our robotic solutions produce:

Increased Accuracy & Production

Robots perform with high accuracy and consistency – ideal for high-volume, repetitive tasks. Application rates up to 100/minute/robot.

LABOR SAVINGS

Eliminate labor and handling where they’ve always been needed throughout your processing line. Save several operators per shift.

SANITARY DESIGN

Robots, 3D vision systems, and end-of-arm tooling are designed to the same hygienic standards as food processing equipment - enabling quick and thorough washdowns.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT

We design and configure robotic solutions precisely for your application. And we’re here to support you once it’s in operation.

Hygienic Robots

We work with proven industrial robot manufacturers like Stäubli to integrate hygienic, high-performing robots into our processing lines.

Choose from 4 or 6-axis and Delta robots custom configured to your operation.

END EFFECTORS FOR FOOD PRODUCTION

We custom configure end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) for each robotic application – ensuring accurate and consistent performance. End effectors can be easily removed for sanitation and changed to accommodate multiple SKUs.

3D VISION SYSTEM

3D vision allows the robot to see the entire form and shape of targets, significantly improving accuracy for singular, grouped, and irregular products

Test Our Equipment With Your Product

We understand that food processing equipment is a large capital investment and a potential change in culture. That’s why we invite you to test our equipment with your specific products and precise operating conditions in our demo facilities. Available at both of our locations – Columbus, Ohio and Deeside, UK – you can evaluate one piece of equipment up to a full line, in standard temperatures or in a controlled cold room – giving you peace of mind that equipment will work the way you need it to in your plant.

Ship your product for a virtual demonstration or visit in person to get a real-life view of how Grote Company equipment can optimize your production. Contact us to schedule a demo now.
