Project Description
Packaging and dispatch department
Most of our products are “trayed” for the retail market.
The transport of the trays from the cutting through to the packaging machine is fully-automated. The temperature in the packaging department is 2 °C, to ensure an uninterrupted cold chain.
The trays are sealed with protective film and are then weighed and labelled. The batch number printed on the label ensures traceability.
The packing of the sealed trays into transport boxes, stacking the cardboard boxes and moving the stacks of boxes is partly automated. Here a robot picks up the stacked boxes and moves them onto a transport pallet.
In the dispatch department the goods are picked for the individual customers and are then loaded onto refrigerated trucks. The dispatch area and the interior of the truck are chilled to around 0°C. Each day, more than 500,000 packs leave the production facilities of Emsland Frischgeflügel and Celler Land Frischgeflügel and are in the refrigerated cabinets of food retail outlets on the next day.
