How to fill blisters, boxes, bags or tubes
of various sizes

 When a company is looking to the future,
 it must invest in technology and quality.
 But it also has to provide a complete and accurate assistance service.
 For this reason, Patreider proposes itself as
 High-tech solution provider for various industrial sectors, including  the food sector, and more precisely the confectionery industry.

 Situated in the beautiful/tranquil area of Auronzo di Cadore, Patreider, founded by Thomas  Patreider  in 1991,  specialises in the development of special machines integrating robots, vision  systems and  quality control.  For the optimisation of customers' production processes, the  company offers an  effective consultancy,  technical and maintenance service and supplies  specific solutions to meet  various requirements in the field  of robotics and special machines.  The Sales Engineer, Davide  Barbato, explains "according to customer's  needs, related to  output volumes and special formats,  we analyse the type of automation that may be  required.  Following which, we describe our ideas in  detail utilising the latest 3-D simulation programs, in  order to accurately predict what the final  machine will look like".

 Product handling
 And automatic warehouses

 The company has considerable experience as a high-tech solution provider in various sectors, including the  mechanical sector, eyewear production, industrial assembly and the automotive industry. The factory, located  near Belluno, also produces assembling machines, but most of the company's activity is focused on the  food-processing industry. Especially for many well-known industries operating in the confectionery sector,  the company develops product handling and pick-and-place systems. "Our machineries can handle the  products along the whole packaging line", states Barbato, "With our machines, we can fill blisters, boxes,  bags or tubes in different formats".
 In the food sector, the company has an excellent know-how also in the development of automatic warehouses  and so-called automated storage units. In factories requiring the ovens to work 24 hours a day, production  cannot be stopped, even in the case of a machine stoppage downstream. Our machines buffer the products in  specialised warehouses until the downstream activity is resumed. Productivity improvements of up to XXX %  have been achieved. (Patreider machines pick the products and place them on trays that are then transferred  to special cells, in which the products remain until the activity downstream is resumed.)
