RF5 – Cheese handling machine

Shelf stacking and palletisation, the RF5 automates all these cheese handling operations. The battery-powered travel system offers enhanced operational autonomy between charges.
Particular attention was paid to the security systems and validated by an independent body.

  • Belt can be removed without special tools in less than one.
  • Movement of all moving parts provided by maintenance-free, non-stretch belts.
  • Lift and table runners made of robust plastic material, mitigating wear and reducing maintenance costs.

Safety

  • Enhanced safety systems.
  • Laser scanners to front and rear.
  • Rear bumper.
