STAALKAT Ardenta 300: Combining hygiene with reliability to handle 108,000 eggs per hour

 

The design of the STAALKAT Ardenta 300, the latest automatic egg grading and packing machine from the Sanovo Technology Group, draws on the company's far-reaching expertise in food safety and cleaning in place. The leader in egg processing equipment has combined advanced hygienic design with a state-of-the-art operating system to deliver the speed and reliability demanded by the toughest food production environments of today and tomorrow. With its capacity of up to 108,000 eggs per hour, the STAALKAT Ardenta 300 decreases the cost per packed egg and hence boosts profit.

 

The STAALKAT Ardenta is designed according to the high sanitation requirements in the egg processing industry. It is equipped with a washable roller entry conveyor and weighing section, enabling easy cleaning by foaming with detergent and rinsing off with water, including the weighing and crack detection unit.

 

Redefining 'fast'

 

The STAALKAT Ardenta 300 offers almost 10% more capacity than its predecessor. Its grading and packing performance of 300 cases per hour equals up to 864,000 eggs in an eight-hour shift. With up to 16 packing lanes, the STAALKAT Ardenta 300 is flexible to handle a large variety of grades and packing activities simultaneously without compromising on efficiency.
 

The STAALKAT Ardenta 300 is equipped with the EGG-it Touch programme allowing the operator to monitor the entire operation and make adjustments as needed. The programme continuously generates statistics on efficiency and performance and includes a diagnostic feature, making this a valuable source of information for users at all levels: managers, operators and service engineers. The STAALKAT Ardenta 300 also supports remote monitoring and diagnostics.

 

Maximizing uptime

 

By replacing printed circuit boards with an advanced operating system, the STAALKAT Ardenta 300 egg grader is even more reliable than its predecessor to ensure maximum operational uptime. It is built with many standard parts that are readily available, thus reducing operational costs and potential downtime. Sanovo Technology Group's global service organisation includes specialised technicians around the world who are always close at hand should assistance be required.
