How do bakeries ensure products arrive at packaging equipment in the correct orientation?

For one bakery processor, the answer involved vision inspection, automated rejection of misoriented products, and a washdown-ready orienting conveyor.

In our latest blog, we explore the challenge, the solution, and how automated orientation helps support flexibility in modern food production environments.

Efficient feeding is only part of the equation.

In this application, a 27" stainless steel vibratory feeder bowl orients aerosol caps at a rate of 75 parts per minute while incorporating a quick dump feature for easier cleanout and maintenance.

Designed for consistent part presentation and seamless integration into downstream automation, the system supports both performance and day-to-day operation.

Can we feed corn on the cob?

For this test, we ran multiple sizes of corn through a centrifugal feeder to see how the system handled product variation.

Here's what happened. ๐ŸŒฝ

Automate 2026 is almost here.

Our team is putting the finishing touches on the systems we'll be bringing to Chicago, and we're looking forward to another week of conversations around feeding, orienting, and automation integration.

If you'll be attending the show, we hope you'll stop by and say hello!

From bulk product to two isolated output lanes.

This heavy-duty orienting conveyor system takes bulk O-rings, singulates them, and prepares them for downstream automation while automatically recirculating misoriented parts for reprocessing.

Watch the full system in action.

A simple curve can make a big difference. โ†ช๏ธ

C-Tracks use a curved path to give parts additional space and time to rotate into the desired orientation before discharge. By combining gravity and guide surfaces, the mechanism helps support consistent part presentation and a smooth transition to downstream equipment.

Compatible with both vibratory and centrifugal feeding systems, C-Tracks are one of many mechanisms used to solve unique part handling challenges.

Check out this video to see how C-tracks help transform bulk parts into production-ready components.
