Allpax is a retort manufacturer that also builds a wide range of integrated robotics, automated material handling and auxiliary equipment for the retort room. The SHUTTLE is one of our designs that makes the retort room a safer place to work.

LOADS AND UNLOADS THE RETORT

One of the biggest justifications for automation in the retort room is the automatic transportation of product-filled baskets and the loading and unloading of baskets in the retort. The Allpax SHUTTLE is a device that was designed to accomplish basket transport into, and out of, the retort safely and efficiently. The machine is a robot that runs on rails in front of the retorts with self-contained conveyor sections for delivering and retrieving retort baskets in the retorts. The shuttle travels under control of the system PLC, and integrates with raw product conveyors and processed product conveyors.

ELIMINATES CONVEYORS IN THE RETORT

There are many approaches to loading and unloading a retort. Some retort manufacturers even have internal conveyors for this function - that are cooked with each product load! The Allpax SHUTTLE removes the need for high-maintenance, internally-driven conveyors and subsystems.
