READY MEALS DOSING LINE FT-TP-RM

The Kometos Finntray ready meals production line is a flexible loading system for various cooked or fresh products like rice, macaroni, pasta, spaghetti, carrot, potato, and meat, fish or seafood components as well as liquid components to create a ready meal. The lines are built by combining weight-based and volume-based solid dispensers and liquid dispensers.

Components can be packed in variety of trays of different sizes and shapes according to customer´s needs. Adjustable denesters for several traysizes are available. Manual working stations for manual loading can be incorporated in the line. Manual working stations can be equipped with load cells to determine the exact weight of the product loaded to minimize the give-away and maximize your profit.

The final weight is adjusted to a fixed weight by adding sauce with a Finntray sauce depositor. Other components such as spices, seasoning, cheese etc. are added in the trays as well with different depositors.

The equipment are integrated with tray packaging and Tecnovac tray closing machines.  Checkweighers, metal detectors or x-ray as well as robotized case packers can also be integrated in the line. Complete solutions are available through Kometos. Materials and components have been chosen with greatest care to ensure maximum performance, high hygienic level as well as easy and effective cleaning process and to ensure product exchange.

LASAGNE LINE FT-TP-LL

The Kometos Finntray lasagne line is an overall system for different lasagne products. The lines are built by combining a tray dispenser, trolley dock with mixer and pipe outlet for pump, a Nestan 2-headed volume-based dispenser, a cobot, a closing and decking machine, a metal detector, FT conveyor solutions and a tray sealing device from our partner Tecnovac Srl.

The products can be packed in cardboard or plastic trays of different sizes according to customer´s needs. There are adjustable tray dispensers (30 trays / min. if needed) for trays of different sizes.. Manual working stations can be incorporated to the line for manual compression. Working stations can be equipped with load cells to determine the exact weight of the product loaded to minimize the loss and maximize the profit.

Nestan volume-based dispenser is used to dispense the sauce (1 -2) in layers with pasta plates set by the cobot. The weight is balanced to the quantity weight by adding the amount of sauce required for the last layer. With the help of a conveyor solution, the trays are transferred to a possible cheese dispenser; cheese is added on top of the products with a vibrating dispenser.

The tray is then transferred by conveyor to the tray sealing machine, which pre-attaches the lid over the tray and then attaches it (15 strokes / min.). The tray can be closed with either a lid or a film. The tray also passes through a metal detector. After the metal detector, the trays are moved to loading area to wait for the packaging.

After the line, the finished product moves to the freezer tunnel and from there to the frozen storage. Kometos delivers the overall solution together with Tecnovac Srl. Materials and components have been chosen with greatest care to ensure maximum performance, high hygienic level and easy and efficient cleaning process.
