With Europe, the United States, and Australia leading the charge, the food industry is very interested in industrial robots, particularly HE robots designed to work in humid environments. The HE 6-axis robot developed by St\u00e4ubli eliminates the risk of bacteriological contamination, is 100% hygienic, and technically beats the competition by a long shot. In fact, it\u2019s the benchmark product for the industry. Report on innovation with a capital “I”.<\/p>\n

Bread, pasta, cakes, meat, fish, dairy products, frozen foods, and fruits and vegetables are all considered \u201cliving\u201d products, food products that must be handled in strict accordance with the rules of hygiene.<\/p>\n

To streamline the process, become more competitive, and offset the aging of the workforce, agrifood companies are investing in industrial robots. They use them for operations such as filling, distributing, cutting, labelling, sorting, packaging, and pallet loading. These operations must all comply with food safety standards to prevent the propagation of bacteria and enzymes.<\/p>\n

“In reality, there\u2019s much less risk of contamination with robots than with humans”, explains Arnaud Derrien, Major Food Industry Accounts Manager at St\u00e4ubli Robotics (France).<\/p>\n

But not just any robot: the HE (Humid Environment) robot developed by St\u00e4ubli in 2007\u2014years ahead of the rest of the industry. “This robot\u2019s design puts us at the cutting-edge of innovation, adds Arnaud Derrien. St\u00e4ubli is the leading manufacturer of robots for handling exposed products.”<\/p>\n

CONTAMINATION LIMITED TO THE STRICT MINIMUM<\/strong><\/p>\n

So how did the company become the leading partner not only of food companies but also the pharmaceutical and electrical industries?<\/p>\n

St\u00e4ubli originally invented a robot with connectors and cables inside the base of the articulated arm. The company developed this technological expertise to adapt its robots to high humidity environments and those exposed to splatter.<\/p>\n

Result: HE robots are designed with two things in mind. First, the arm\u2019s exterior is designed in compliance with EHEDG recommendations on minimizing water retention to prevent bacteria such as salmonella and listeria from developing. Second, the connectors are integrated into the body of the robot so that all the equipment can be cleaned. The equipment is smooth (with rounded edges), water-tight, and open below to allow water to drain. “The pressurized arm eliminates the risk of contamination”, says Arnaud Derrien.<\/p>\n

To make sure the robots can withstand frequent wash downs, the company worked with a manufacturer of detergents and sterilization products to make the outside surface of the arm chemically compatible with common cleaning products used in the industry.<\/p>\n

PRECISION AND REPEATABILITY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apart from being very easy to clean, St\u00e4ubli HE robots can handle loads of up to 150 kg and have excellent movement and trajectory control, providing high levels of precision and repeatability.<\/p>\n

“Without our HE robots, it would be impossible to automate certain tasks involving fresh or exposed products in accordance with the most stringent hygiene requirements”, says G\u00e9rald Vogt, Deputy Director St\u00e4ubli Robotics. “They undergo intensive cleaning and sterilization processes that no other robot would be able to withstand over a long period. Thanks to these HE robots, we can open up a world of new opportunities in the food industry and make industrial processes much more productive. ”<\/p>\n
