The production of food and beverage products is subject to strict legal regulations. Cleanliness and sanitation are the most important requirements. At the same time, modern products need to have unique packaging to make them stand apart from the crowd.
Special products need special solutions. We at mk use only certified components that allow our customers to work as safely, efficiently and hygienically as possible. Aluminium machines are used for handling packaged food and beverage products, whereas unpackaged food requires stainless INOX steel.
Blue and white wear strips and belts help you detect foreign particles caused by wear and abrasion. These are easy to install and replace. We have special belts for products with volatile oils, solvents, etc. To prevent contamination, the drives are not situated above the main transport line. Conveyors can also be designed with metal-free sections to allow for quality assurance tests involving metal detection.
mk’s portfolio includes profile technology that can reliably withstand the powerful water jets used in cleaning. Furthermore, all components are designed to eliminate obstructed spaces and corners where dirt can accumulate, making the system easy to clean.
mk’s references include, among others, solutions for vegetables, liquids, chocolate, nut granules, fruit gums, baked goods and tobacco products.
Problem definition
In a food production application, stacked pallets need to be rotated by 90° and then further transported in the same direction so that they can be transferred to a buffer system. The pallets have a length/width ratio of 1 : 2.5, which is unfavourable for rotary motion. One pallet…
Problem definition
An existing interlink for transferring pallets in a food production application needs to be expanded. Capacities and production need to be increased from about 500 pallets to around 1500 pallets. This corresponds to approximately 100,000 products in the final expansion stage.…
Problem definition
Transporting unpackaged food products to which granules are adhered. The food products are transported laterally onto a horizontal transport line. They need to be transported away and conveyed upwards at an angle. Applicable food production regulations need to be complied with.

Problem definition
For a testing process, an entire system needs to be integrated into a maritime container so that the system can be used worldwide. Space is therefore extremely limited. A worker sorts the products to be tested into containers. The containers need to be conveyed into the system,…
Problem definition
In a testing process, containers need to be fed into a storage system and then discharged. After they are fed into the system, the containers need to be shaken and then positioned so that a robot can remove a sample. A worker fills the containers with products to be tested and…
Problem definition
To feed and discharge containers from a multi-level storage system, the containers need to be raised to the various storage levels and then lowered again by a parallel storage line. The available space is very limited. The machine should be as reliable and require as little…
