Our "slice and apply" applications streamline automated food assembly. Our machines slice food onto food bases, processing belts, passing screens, and trays with accurate thickness, laydown, and targeting. ? Meat and cheese onto bread to make sandwiches ? Pepperoni in full patterns on pizza bases ? Bacon onto trays or oven belts ? Meat and alternative products onto screens for jerky ? Bread onto trays for crisps and cookies ? Meat and cheese onto dough for savory bakery items or onto chicken for cordon bleu Ready to increase efficiency and accuracy with us? #foodproduction #foodprocessing #foodequipment

How can food processors address supply chain uncertainty, rising wholesale prices, and a shrinking labor supply? In many cases, increased automation. Automation addresses: 1. Higher Production Volumes Automated systems boost throughput and standardize production rates. This increases reliability and predictability in production, no matter what you produce. 2. Labor Availability Automated or fully robotic systems can now perform high-care tasks accurately and quickly, surpassing even the most skilled workers. 3. Production Efficiency Automation through line and plant controls and robotics streamline food processing, speeding up production while minimizing errors and leading to consistent, repeatable output. 4. Product Yield & Waste Excess or inaccurate application cuts into margins and can sometimes be the difference between profit and loss. Automation delivers precise placement and portioning of your ingredients and products. The question becomes, how can you afford not to automate? #foodprocessing #foodproduction #foodequipment #robotics

Like many food processors, The Sandwich King couldn’t find enough workers to handle its high-volume production line. A new Grote depositor for its egg salad sandwiches solved that while increasing output and reducing food waste. “We found the Grote model much more maneuverable and simpler to use than what we’d tried in the past,” said Jason Hirst, operations and production manager at The Sandwich King. “We were sold after about five minutes of running the machine during the trial.”

We're automating food handling for a wide range of prepared foods with our robotic solutions. Food robotic applications include: ? Feed pizza crusts and tortillas to the start of the line ? Pick and place meat on dough or bacon ? Stack frozen biscuit and burger sandwich ingredients ? Lid sandwich bread ? Align products for cutting and packaging ? Pick and place final products into packaging All solutions are sanitary and custom-configured to your products. What could a Grote robot do for you? #foodproduction #foodprocessing #foodequipment #robotics

Topping ingredients are the highest-cost items on frozen pizza production lines. When a large producer wanted to scale up operations and reduce their considerable waste of shredded cheese in the process, our Waterfall Applicator delivered. ? Reducing floor waste to less than 1% ? Cutting downtime to .75% in mechanical minutes ? Allowing 96 hours of runtime between sanitation cycles ? Improved weight accuracy to 99.99% What could these results mean to your pizza operation? #foodprocessing #foodproduction #foodequipment

Have you heard us mention agápe capitalism or received one of our coins and wondered what it means? It's a philosophy by our founder Jim Grote, summarized as a way of doing business based on the power of love. (Yes, love… at work.) The tenets of agápe capitalism are: When we Lead with Love, practice The Golden Rule (treat others as you want to be treated), and Do the Right Thing, we impact our little corner of the world. In turn, this impact creates a ripple effect of positive energy that affects the whole world. Ask us how to get your stainless steel agápe coin and spread the love. ?? #companyculture #values

We are always improving our solutions with customers in mind or right along beside them. Read the latest edition from The British Sandwich & Food to Go Association for insight into how our sandwich assembly solutions are adapting to food safety requirements, smaller portion sizes, and improved performance.

How can automation help your operation? Let us count the ways: 1. Improve efficiency by optimizing raw material use and minimizing line disruptions and downtime. 2. Reduce labor costs by automating repetitive tasks, enhancing overall productivity, and minimizing maintenance time. 3. Minimize manual handling, allowing you to improve accuracy, consistency, and safety. 4. Optimize performance with real-time monitoring of operations and data-driven management decisions. 5. BONUS: Increase flexibility to diversify your product line without running multiple processing lines. When you're asked to produce even more, more efficiently and more profitably, you can turn to us to further automate your operation. #foodproduction #foodprocessing #automation
