Food & Beverage Industry
Our industry solutions.
Automated processes offering the highest levels of process reliability and hygiene – from processing right through to packaging.
Hygienic, efficient and flexible
With LEANTECHNIK solutions.
The food industry requires production facilities that meet the highest hygiene standards whilst delivering maximum efficiency. Whether it’s meat, baked goods, dairy products or drinks – precise movements, fast cycle times and absolutely reliable technology are essential across the board.
Raw material processing
In food production, hygiene, reliability and efficiency are the top priorities. Our lean SL® drives ensure precise and robust motion right from the primary processing stage of meat, dough or dairy products. They enable cost-effective solutions for conveyor, lifting and handling systems and are ideally suited to hygiene-sensitive environments. Thanks to their compact design and low-maintenance mechanics, the systems are easy to integrate and guarantee high plant availability – day in, day out.
Filling & Portioning
In filling and portioning processes, precision is key to product quality and cost-effectiveness. With lifgo® rack-and-pinion drives from LEANTECHNIK, movements can be achieved with the highest repeatability and speed – ideal for dosing systems, cutting systems or high-performance filling lines. The robust mechanical design ensures consistent performance even during 24/7 operation, whilst the play-free guidance enables positioning accurate to the micrometre. This results in reliable, efficient systems for maximum output and consistent product quality.
Packaging
Whether it’s a carton packer, tray packer or form-fill-seal machine – quick format changes and flexible motion sequences are crucial in food packaging. Our 3-axis positioning systems and lift tables enable packaging lines to be designed with precision and ergonomics in mind. The systems enable precise, repeatable movements at high cycle rates and support the safe, efficient handling of different packaging sizes. The result: maximum flexibility, short changeover times and stable processes – from primary to end-of-line packaging.
Palletising & Logistics
In food production, products must be handled safely, hygienically and efficiently at the end of the production line. LEANTECHNIK lifting columns and transfer systems enable precise palletising, order-picking and transport processes – even with high volumes and heavy loads. Thanks to their modular design, the systems can be integrated in a space-saving manner and flexibly expanded, for example to provide a direct link to the automated warehouse. This creates a seamless flow of materials with high process speeds and maximum operational reliability – from packaging right through to logistics.

Wrap-around-Tray-Packer
Reliable motion in step with the food industry
When packaging delicate foodstuffs such as butter or margarine, precise and dynamic motion sequences are essential. In the tray/wrap-around packer from Schäfer & Flottmann, a lifgo® 5.1 linear rack and pinion gear unit from LEANTECHNIK handles the lifting motion for the cardboard blanks. Thanks to its compact design and integrated guide, the gearbox can be fitted in a space-saving manner – whilst meeting the requirements for speed, repeatability and load-bearing capacity in three-shift operation.
