Industrial Automation has been working with both large multi-national and medium-sized UK companies in the food & drink sector for the last 10 years. We have designed automation solutions for picking and placing fruit pies into protective wrapping, develped production processes for environmentally & economically friendly packaging for food liquids and streamlined the depalletisation process for bottling and filling drinks into cans and bottles, to name but a few of our recent projects.
Our designers and engineers are creative, innovative thinkers who thrive on a challenge to find the best possible solution to your automation problem. Our machines are developed to reduce costs, increase production efficiency and reduce manual labour - factors which are becoming ever more important, especially in the food & drink sector.

Automatic Transfer System
Our Automatic Tranfer System allowed one major UK bakery to automate the picking & packing of their fruit pies and increase overall production speed. |

Bag-in-Box Packaging
To minimise transport and environmental costs, we helped to develop the "Bag-in-Box" packaging for food liquids with a robotic bag insertion machine. |

LDP Arctic Depalletiser
The LDP Arctic offers automatic layer depalletising of boxed food products (chips, burgers, ice creams etc.) in minus 28 degrees frozen temperature environments. |
|

PTS Transfer System
The PTS Transfer System offers unique and flexible solutions for pallet load transfers of trays or containers, which typically hold perishable food products (chicken, meats, bread etc.), in vertical stack arrangements. |

Pallet Debander
The Pallet Debander automatically locates, cuts and removes vertical plastic straps from pallets. Ideally suited for palletised cans and bottles, the Debander helps to reduce costs and improve efficiency. In use world-wide with major soft drinks / beer manufacturers. |

Robotec Debander
The Robotec Debander is the ideal solution for customers with limited space or reduced throughput. IA have taken key parts of the traditional Debander System and mounted them flexibly onto a Robot arm. The production proven head utilises a sensor to locate, cut and remove straps then place into a granulator for shredding. |

Layer Debander
The Layer Debander is mounted on to a depalletising unit and automatically locates, cuts and removes the horizontal plastic strap in a layer of bottles. Helps to reduce labour costs and minimise broken bottles. | |
