Line 3 is Easyfood's newest and most efficient line, where exclusively sausage rolls of different sizes and types are produced today. Previously, the sausage rolls were produced on lines 1 and 2. However, as the demand for sausage rolls grew, it resulted in them occupying too much capacity on the two lines, where many of Easyfood's other specialty products were also being produced.
As a result, Easyfood invested in a new line solely dedicated to the production of sausage rolls. Today, sausage rolls are exclusively manufactured on line 3. Sealing System's delivery begins once the sausage rolls are fully made and frozen.
The project commenced in 2019, and in 2020, Easyfood chose Sealing System as the supplier. It was a turning point for Easyfood as they decided to expand their production in Kolding. Firstly, the production has significantly improved, with the ability to produce 5-8% better than budgeted. There is much less waste, and as a result, the production has now been reduced to a 4-day week with long shifts due to high uptime. The two other lines can now accommodate more specialized products, which is a great advantage for Easyfood.
Currently, Easyfood has 160 employees, with 110 of them working in production.
The frozen sausage rolls come directly out of the freezer onto a product conveyor and are distributed into two Multihead weighers. The correct amount of rolls is then transferred and placed into a bagging machine that seals the bags. Following this, the bags are routed through a rumbler, flattening out the rolls in the bag, for them to be correctly positioned into a box. The flattened bags are then inspected by a metal detector and check weight. The sausage rolls are packed into boxes, followed by an ingredient list insertion. With the help of a case packer, case erectors, and sealers, the boxes are prepared for labeling and then palletized with an Okura robot, using a vacuum robot tool. The boxes are transported to a pallet wrapper where labeling is added to two sides.
Packing and palletizing machines can be integrated in various intelligent packaging solutions. See more solutions in our Cases section.
We have made an animation of “The product's path through the packaging line" to illustrate the various functions that may be included in our intelligent packaging solutions.
