Tray denester serves up a timely solution

AEW Delford Systems and Ixia UK have struck an all-British deal to offer portion control slicing and sawing systems combined with the latest tray denesting technology in an attempt to speed up the part of the production line most often hampered by delays.

Ever faster slicing and increased automation have thrown the spotlight on denesters, which have struggled to keep pace with processing speeds.

A two-year trawl of global manufacturers by AEW led it to Ixia, which defeated the problem of downtime with Snapdragon (left), featuring a novel mechanism that cuts delays in changing between tray sizes, leading to better output, continuity and flexibility.

AEW, which supplies food collating, slicing and packing systems for fresh products, cooked meats, bacon and cheese, said the role of the tray denester was becoming ever more vital, ensuring that trays are always perfectly separated and presented.
