Automated cheese
transport line
Transferring cheese variations safely between
production and loading ramp
Author: Jörn Thomas, TRAPO AG
The central benefit of modern food processing is optimized
safety through automated processes. Food manufacturers
are responsible for product liability, and TRAPO
AG, as a partner of the food industry, designs flawless
processes in production and intralogistics. With respect for the
task of transporting food, complex lines are created – at the traditional
German manufacturer JERMI from production to the loading
ramp.
The traditional Swabian company was founded back in 1889.
Today, the customer base of the food manufacturer from Laupheim
Baustetten includes all German discounters, wholesalers,
the food processing industry, and partners in the co-manufacturing
sector, in addition to the classic food retail trade. In addition
to its own "JERMI" brand, customers' private labels are playing
a steadily growing role. 20 percent of the products are exported
from Swabia to 50 countries worldwide.
Complete line competence enables flexible
conveyor technology
State-of-the-art production makes it possible for over 12,000 tons
of processed and fresh cheese and around 28,000 tons of prepackaged
cheese to land on the gourmet's table every year. High
performance that needs a partner. In 2018, the first contact was
made with TRAPO AG. "The many years of experience in high care
areas and in hygiene design were decisive for me," recalls Gerhard
Jerg, Managing Director of JERMI.
"Everything from a single source" – the complete line competence
of TRAPO AG impressed him – and last but not least
the fresh, elegant, compact stainless steel design of the plant.
