The future of the food industry

The food industry is undergoing radical change and is facing a transformation due to increasing automation. For years, the Zimmer Group has been observing the challenges facing the industry and how automated processes are changing the market. The company is responding with components, systems and complete plants that help to process, package and transport food safely and reliably.

The Zimmer Group has already developed and implemented a large number of individual components and system solutions for various customers in the food industry. The areas of application are diverse. For example, a standard angular gripper from the GK series was modified at the customer's request so that it can grip a muffin and dip it in liquid chocolate. The prerequisite for this application was that the gripper jaws were made of stainless steel and that food-safe grease was used as a lubricant.
