Food Industry Automation

The Intersection of Automation, Safety, & Productivity

Our automation and application engineers proudly partner with leaders in the food industry to deliver highly innovative manufacturing solutions. Our full system capabilities allow us to put our expertise towards the entire manufacturing process, helping to solve industry specific challenges: shrinking labor pool, rising compensation costs, food safety regulations, and traceability. Our capabilities include: Line Design for Automation, HPP Automation (Robotic Load/Unload), Robotic Case Packing, Robotic Pick and Place, Robotic Palletizing, and Robotic Waterjet Cutting and Trimming.

 

We ensure you deliver on strict quality and food safety requirements. Our strong background in robotic integration paired with our specialization in automation, allows us to engineer a seamless production line that is reliable, consistent, and smart.

TALK WITH OUR EXPERTS

Automating High Pressure Processing (HPP)

High Pressure Processing (HPP) is one of the fastest growing technology sectors, and at Shape Process Automation we are proud to lead the advancement of HPP automation. Integrating automation into both upstream and downstream HPP process, we help customers with palletizing, raw material storage and retrieval, and more.

Our team is well versed in the rising trend towards Clean Label Products and support the technologies conducive to manufacturing high quality, highly natural products.

In addition to our automation expertise, we offer a broad portfolio of standard products to compliment your HPP lines including:

  • Custom Carriers
  • Carrier Carts & Elevators
  • Turntables
  • Tote Dumpers & Pre-Feeders
  • Dryers
  • And more

Total System Integration

We take standard pieces of equipment and integrate them into one complete, smooth functioning solution. Helping to move product from one area to another, conveyance and material handling, palletizing, and packaging. We take discrete functions that reside together in a plant and link together batch processes.
