SAS Automation, a leader in the design and manufacture of Robotic End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT), recently introduced the latest in tools for handling different types of baked goods more efficiently. Commercial bakery products are can be challenging to depan as they are fragile and often topped with fruits, nuts or candies.
"The SAS depanner accommodates a wide range of bakery products and is flexible enough to handle different shapes and sizes making it perfect for handling cakes, brownies, and cupcakes in addition to muffins,” said Rob Dalton, General Manager for SAS Automation.
Designed for high volume and low maintenance depanning, the SAS Muffin Depanner has custom stainless steel needle grippers, each using 4 curved needles to depan 144 muffins from 2 moving baking pans on an oven conveyor. The small diameter needles leave limited evidence of penetration. A welded tubular stainless steel frame supports the mounting of stroking cylinders, bushing rails, needle grippers and actuating cylinders.
