Pan Storage & Retrieval Systems

Pan storage and retrieval, pan unstacking and stacking, and pan conveying lets you optimize the production cycle and increase your profits.

 

Our preferred vendors include:

Dunbar Systems, Inc. recognizes the need in today’s high-speed bakeries for efficient and smooth pan and trough supply as well as pan changeover capabilities.  Breakdowns in supply of either of these fundamental components can mean large revenue losses in a short period of time.  In addition to efficiency savings, labor costs can also be reduced significantly.  It is for that reason that Dunbar Systems, Inc. represents the best in automated pan and trough storage and retrieval systems.

The ROBOCAP stacker/destacker, for the handling of baking pans and tins, was specially constructed for the baking industry.  It enables semi- or automatic handling of your moulds in the production line

Pans or tins to be taken out of the line are grouped and centered on the conveyor section. Before arriving here, the forms are identified, noticing the specifics of each form. The required information is then passed onto the system controller. Immediately the ROBOCAP lifter bar takes the complete row of forms out of the line and transports these to their stacking position. Of course the system "knows" all forms, their stacking position as well as stack heights. On its return, the ROBOCAP picks up the new type of pans and places these on the conveyor.

 

The Robocap system controller is constantly informed about form, type and number of forms at present in the line and eventually needed. This is important for another major function of the system: if the line stops for any reason, the ROBOCAP will start taking out the returning forms. Because of this, it will not be necessary to switch off the line "backwards" if the problems occur to be bigger and last longer. Products in the oven and proofer will not get lost. As soon as the line is back in production, the system will replace the forms, without manual interference being necessary. The system can be linked to an order processor to get its daily task, but can also be programmed directly. Changes in the task list can be made at all times, also during production. A monitor, integrated in the main panel, gives information about the present status.

 

The lidder is designed to place lids automatically and in a continuous flow, on the pans. The equipment is designed to handle the lid/pan with their length in the direction of travel. The position of both the pan and lid are controlled through out the lidding process.
