Bosch Packaging Technology presents a further enhancement to its proven D3 robotic platform, Presto D3. The machine range offers innovative features ensuring non-stop operation.

Designed for picking, placing and collating a wide range of food and non-food wrapped products, the upgraded robotic platform gives manufacturers the highest flexibility thanks to modular design.

Thanks to simple integration with upstream and downstream packaging equipment requirements, the solution is available with one or two infeed conveyors, allowing the products to be picked up, grouped and placed flat or on edge directly into cartons or the infeed chain of a sideload cartoner.

The modular design allows for multiple product and carton types and sizes to be handled on the same machine, like single, dual or twin collators with options for left, center and right-hand entries.

By using Human Machine Interface (HMI) and Gemini 4.0 controller, operators can design simulations of new formats without actual products, saving valuable production time. The enhancements are realized at the end of the packaging line.

For improved quality protection and accurate filling, the collator is equipped with an air blow ejection system that rejects products which are out of specification. All D3 robotic solutions can be easily integrated with both Bosch and third-party primary or secondary packaging machines for simple and modular system automation.
