Keeping Employees Safe
The most pressing concern for any workplace during a pandemic is protecting its employees' health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that factories space workers 6 feet apart, but enforcing this isn't always straightforward. Placing robots in every other position can help ensure employees maintain an adequate distance, reducing their risk of spreading COVID-19.

Packaging Robots Tasks and Industries
Depending on the end of arm tooling (EOAT) a given robot leverages, it can complete many different tasks. Most often, packaging robots are designed to open, fill, transport, palletize, seal, code and/or label product packaging. Just about any process involving the movement or packing of goods can be automated by a packaging robot.

It’s well known that smell is the most powerful of all our senses with strong ties to both emotion and memory. But how can premium home fragrance and luxury lifestyle brands create connections with their consumers beyond scent? With the rise of the eco-conscious consumer, brands need to be mindful of the sustainable credentials of their products and their packaging. 

According to the group, food waste contributes 8-10% to total man-made greenhouse gas emissions, and approximately one-third of food produced around the world is wasted each year.

The ‘DeXel’ conceptual design innovation uses connected technology to transform existing jars and bottles into intelligent packaging with the aim of limiting food waste. The timer device magnetically attaches to the lids of food packaging, and seeks to use motion sense technology and an LED light system to help consumers reduce their food waste. 

The multi-layer laminate consists of three basic components: BillerudKorsnäs` paper ConFlex® Silk, a sealing layer made of BASF's certified home compostable and partly bio-based biopolymer ecovio® and BASF's water-based adhesive Epotal® Eco 3675 X. All components are certified home-compostable according to official European certification schemes for home-composting. The laminate contains a high share of renewables and extends the end-of-life options for multi-layer flexible packaging by being organically recyclable.

Our natural pasteurization process for nuts is FDA approved and can be validated by an independent laboratory.
Revtech has supplied over 10 nut pasteurization units worldwide, all of them validated following the Almond Board of California protocol or an equivalent. The biggest one was validated for a 5 log reduction of Salmonella on almonds with a flowrate of 7 tons/h (15,000 lbs/h).
The same unit can also be used for roasting using adapted operating parameters.
