Drake Loader

MANIX CF

Engineered for versatility, sanitation, and automation.

The MANIX CF combines a stainless steel centrifugal bowl with advanced robotic pick-and-place to expand what’s possible in automated food loading. Designed to handle more than traditional cylindrical products, this system delivers high-speed, precise placement with reduced human contact.

Using centrifugal alignment and food-grade FANUC robotics, the MANIX CF rotates & indexes products into packages under highly sanitary conditions. With scalable configurations & flexible output options, it offers a cost-effective path to robotic automation for a wide range of applications.

MANIX CF: Centrifugal and Robotic Autoloading

  • VERSATILE: Handles hot dogs, sausages, snack sticks, cheese sticks, pickles, and non-cylindrical or irregular products.

  • AUTOMATED: Centrifugal feeding aligns product before robotic indexing and placement at high speeds.

  • SCALABLE: Configurable with single or dual centrifugal feeders, multiple robots, & flexible output lanes.

  • COMPLIANT: CE compliant & designed to American Meat Institute (AMI) sanitary design principles.

  • SANITARY: Convenient spray-through guarding, spray bars, & single point hook-up washing system provide superior cleanability & durability over plastic alternatives.
