Automation processes within food production chains are no longer optional nowadays: every manufacturer integrates various automation stages into the value-creation chain. Only in this way can quality, competitive strength and profitability be assured in the long term. KUKA robots simplify this step for forward thinkers in the food industry: we have developed versatile all-rounders that simplify significant areas in production, packaging, storage and distribution – palletizing experts, deep-freeze specialists, and masters of wet room applications.

Production and processing of foodstuffs often take place in extreme conditions. Certain long production lines, for example, are subject to extremely demanding temperatures. Germ-free processing of the foodstuffs is an absolute must. The KR 15 SL stainless steel robot affords excellent hygienic advantages in food processing and is specially designed for automation in sectors such as meat, cheese and milk production. The KR 180-2 PA Arctic palletizing robot experiences no trouble even at icy temperatures down to minus 30 degrees Celsius. Fitted with a dress package designed to meet the needs of freezer applications, it is the resilient expert for the deep-freeze sector. And KUKA robots think for themselves: as intelligent machines, they use scanners and camera systems to reliably perform challenging functions such as quality control.

Utmost precision and repeatability, extremely high speed, consistently high quality independent of batch size, and an unrivaled product range – with modular KUKA automation solutions, you can effortlessly increase productivity and reduce your process costs.
