ROKK RO600 Robotic Ice Cream Filling Line

Description

The RO600 is a new, pioneering robotic filling line capable of not only filling ice cream containers, but also of creating precise artisanal decoration on bulk round and rectangular cake. The compact machine features a semiautomatic, six-axis, pneumatically powered robotic arm which, as well being highly proficient in filling containers with aesthetically pleasing, elaborate designs, is able to create ice cream cakes or decorate sponge cakes with intricate, artisanal patterns with unrivalled accuracy.

The new filling robot is able to create astonishing volumes considering the complexity of the designs it is capable of crafting. Although final capacity figures may vary, the RO600 can fill up to 600 five litre containers, or 800 one or two-litre tubs per hour. On the decoration side, it can create up to 360 rectangular cakes or 300 round cakes per hour.

Coming with a fully open stainless steel frame for easy cleaning and mounted on wheels for easy transportation around the production hall, the RO600 also boasts a Siemens S7 PLC control panel which is pre-programmed with three decoration recipes, although many more can be added and stored. The panel is also remote accessible allowing line managers to control its output from anywhere within a predetermined network, or with an established WiFi connection. To ensure that the switch between recipes is a quick and effortless affair, adjustable lamellas allow container and plate sizes to be changed without the need for specialist tools.

The RO600 is available with a variety of optional extras, as well as the option to add in/out pneumatic movement of the lamellas which is synchronized with the ice cream filling motion. These include a ripple kit made up of a dedicated ripple nozzle and a remote pneumatic syrup filling valve to control the syrup filling volume, a double nozzle kit for creating two colour designs, additional programmable recipe patterns, and finally, an ice cream pipe and holding ice cream pipe system (needed only for cake filling decoration).
