VHM Machinery - Fully Automatic Street Mencke.

Being able to get more done with fewer people, greater flexibility, and better quality. That's what I’ve invested in.

The solution
To achieve his goals, Berend chose QualityGraders from Flikweert Vision with box automation from VHM Machinery. Berend: “We can now do more work with our team of eight people and rely on accurate, consistent quality control using advanced cameras. We can check for wireworms, scabs, damage, shape defects, eyes, and green, among other things.”

“This machine saves a lot of labour, but due to the higher speed we had to take a different approach to supply and removal. For this reason, we have automated box logistics with VHM Machinery. The total solution consists of a destacker, a box emptier with EvenFlow for even and dosed output into the sorting line, a buffer/removal station, a bunker filler, and a stacker. Berend: "It's a wonderful thing to watch: full crates in, full crates out. What VHM does is truly unique. Because they regard the crate as a bunker, you can eliminate several intermediate bunkers and minimize falling heights. We now also require far fewer forklift movements and therefore have more peace of mind than ever.”
