Today, numerous leading global food enterprises have pioneered the integration of robotic technology in their factories, enabling efficient and rapid mass production of products. Take the food industry as an example: traditionally, manual dumpling production yields only about 10 dumplings per minute per worker, totaling approximately 600 per hour. In fact, automation in raw material processing and production stages is already well-established within the food sector. When operating at full capacity, an entire production line can produce nearly 10,000 dumplings per hour. However, the final packaging stage—particularly multi-layer sorting and boxing—remains a low-value-added, highly repetitive task. As market demands for product personalization and diversity continue to rise, traditional manual labor struggles to meet requirements, while existing equipment falls far short of robots in flexibility.
Hengjiang Intelligent's food industry robot excels in the packaging segment of egg tart production lines. This robot precisely grasps egg tarts and stacks them onto designated trays. Its proprietary technology minimizes product shaking during handling and transport, enabling gentle gripping while ensuring no broken shells, dropped items, or missed picks. It completes each task with high speed and precision, intelligently coordinating with human operators.
Notably, as an edible product, egg tarts require production entirely within sterile, contamination-free environments. To meet this demand, Hengjiang robots utilize food-grade 304/316 stainless steel materials that are safe for direct food contact. This ensures high-speed, high-precision operations while maintaining strict hygiene and safety standards. The robot can move and rotate flexibly in three-dimensional space, coordinating with conveyor belts to achieve rapid tracking, grasping, and placement. Its flexible gripping mechanism fully protects the integrity of the egg tarts, significantly reducing labor costs while substantially boosting production efficiency.
Currently, within the food industry, Hengjiang's intelligent robots demonstrate exceptional flexibility in addressing sorting and packing demands for diverse product varieties and specifications. Enterprises can select compatible robots and control programs based on factors like product dimensions, placement patterns, pallet sizes, and orientations, effortlessly achieving automated sorting and packaging for varied products.
Amid recurring pandemics and market fluctuations, sales of many food categories have surged exponentially. Concurrently, high-pressure, fast-paced urban lifestyles have driven increased demand for storage, transportation, packaging, and distribution of ready-to-eat products. These factors collectively present unprecedented development opportunities for robotics applications in the food industry.
Looking ahead, Hengjiang Intelligent will continue to push technological boundaries, delivering more comprehensive and extensive robotic solutions to diverse clients. This commitment will further propel progress and transformation within the food industry robotics sector.
