Nowadays, the use of industrial robots in food industry production is becoming more and more popular. Due to many advantages that process robotization offers, food processing facilities install more and more robotized production lines, especially in processes such as meat processing, production of cheese or baked goods. However, in food production, robots can be exposed to harmful factors that could hinder effective work and generate unnecessary expenses. What could be done to increase the efficiency of industrial robots in food production?
Industrial robots in food production can be exposed to such factors as moisture and water splashes, as well as corrosive effects of salt and chemicals used for cleaning and sanitization of the working environment. These factors accelerate the wear of the robot parts, reducing their lifetime.
Companies looking to automate food production often struggle with the following issue: what if oil used for lubrication of robot gears leaks and contaminates unpacked food? In such situations, the only option is to dispose of the contaminated batch of the product, which usually generates high cost, not to mention the waste. Even using a robot specially dedicated to food industry does not completely solve this issue.
In food industry production it is absolutely crucial to maintain a high level of cleanliness. Robotic workstations in this type of facility are frequently cleaned and sanitized in order to remove any contaminants where microbes could be multiplying. However, industrial robots, due to their complicated shape, are quite difficult to clean – therefore, keeping the robot clean takes up quite a lot of precious time.
EVOTEC covers for robots working in food industry are a simple yet effective solution for all the aforementioned issues. EVOTEC covers are made of fabrics with waterproof properties, which helps shield robots from moisture present in the environment and splashes of liquids. What is more, these fabrics are also resistant to many chemicals used in food production, effectively protecting industrial robots from the harmful effects of detergents and sanitizers. These properties mean that using a protective cover extends the lifetime of an industrial robot working in harsh conditions.
What is more, protective covers can help in case of oil leaks from robot gears, containing the initial leak, which gives the robot operator time to react before the oil comes into contact with the food product. This helps prevent financial loss and product waste. Using a cover also shortens the time spent on cleaning, since it eliminates the need to clean all the nooks and crannies of the robot.
To sum up, EVOTEC protective covers for industrial robots working in the food industry help increase the efficiency of robotic food production and extend the lifetime of the robot and its parts. EVOTEC protective covers are a solution that simply and effectively ensure production continuity and allows you to make full use of the benefits of robotics.
If you're looking for protection for your industrial robot, you're in the right place. Our covers are not just "clothes" for robots. They are tailor-made solutions created by EVOTEC. What does this mean?
We know how important production continuity is in industry. Unplanned downtime is an expensive problem for many production plants. This is why EVOTEC wants to prevent it. Using robotic production, you can reduce the amount you spend on service and maintenance of robots and ensure production efficiency. How can you do that?
Many processes in which industrial robots and machines are used generate harmful contaminants. The perfect applications to use robots are often referred to as "3D" - "Dull, Dirty and Dangerous".
