Process food quickly and safely
EuroShop 2011: Bizerba presents a total store solution with a new 3D applicator
(firmenpresse) - Balingen, March 3rd 2011 - With the GLM-E Retail – a combination of packaging
machine, scales and pricing tool – retailers can independently process fresh food even in
small preparation spaces and thus flexibly respond to variations in demand.
A new 3D applicator makes it possible to apply up to two labels at any desired position of
the packaging surface. As the user controls both the packaging machine and the pricing
tool via the same touch screen terminal, a higher degree of data consistency and
reliability is ensured.
"Bizerba will launch the system in North America during the year. After its successful test
installation in a supermarket in North Rhine-Westphalia, the response in Europe is
currently being tested“, says Tudor Andronic, Director Global Retail Solutions of Bizerba.
Should this turn out to be positive, the system could also be used in preparation spaces in
European supermarkets and hypermarkets in the future. Furthermore, as Andronic argues,
"the solution is in particular predestined for use in food retailers with smaller preparation
spaces as the device combines several functionalities but requires only one space“.
The new 3D applicator
Staff can cut precise portions of meat, sausages and cheese using the fully automatic
cutting machine A400. The planar filling of the cutting machine can thus be configured
for the most common packaging sizes. The product to be cut can then be placed in a dish
and positioned on the GLM-E Retail conveyor belt.
After weighing, the product is packed in stretch film and then given up to two labels in a
fully automated process. The 3D applicator contains the labels and applies them to every
desired position of the surface of the packaging. "This variable label positioning is a
unique selling point and makes the construction particularly flexible“, continues Andronic.
Fewer roll changes – shorter downtimes – more efficient use of personnel
The – compared to many other providers – significantly larger diameter of the label rolls
of up to 300 millimetres reduces the number of roll changes and thus the duration of
downtimes. A significantly more efficient use of personnel results from these reduced
downtimes and a performance of up to 35 packages per minute. Matching labels from the
Bizerba label plant in Bochum guarantee an optimum service performance and a long
life span of the thermo push buttons.
The GLM-E Retail can be seen at this year's EuroShop in Düsseldorf from 26th February
until 2nd March (hall 6, booth E56).
