Depanner
Depanning systems automatically remove products (usually baked goods such as muffins or cakes) from pans or trays at high production rates, while preserving product integrity and quality.
- Tooling is designed and matched to customer specific requirements.

- Products can be regrouped and automatically placed directly into consumer packaging with Precision's unique "changing centerline" depan tooling.
- Precision's depanning systems use 4 and 6 axis high-speed, high-payload robots. Custom servo/gantry systems also available.
- Different products coming down the same line? Multiple depan tools are quickly and automatically changed for each production run.
- Various types of product handling available: Vacuum/Air, Needle/Pin, Gripper
- Tooling is designed and matched to customer specific requirements.
Pan Exchange Systems
Pan exchange systems make a real-time exhange of heavy pans, forms, or trays on a continuous production line.
- Using 1 or 2 high-speed, high-payload robots, one set of pans can be removed from production and stacked, while a new set is deployed-all within one cell.
- The exchange is made at production rates, minimizing changeover time and mazimixing production.
- Built-in sensors and verification assure all pans are properly exchanged.
- Eliminate unsafe manual handling of heavy and pans and trays.
- Built-in stacking freatures eliminate bulky and costly pan carts.
