Top Tray Denester

The Top Tray Denester is a compact, intelligent unit that automates the placement of top trays on full and half egg cases—enhancing product protection and reducing manual labor. Installed downstream from a case packer or manual packing station, it brings consistency and reliability to a task that is often handled manually.

Designed to handle a wide variety of case types—including transparent or brown egg packs—the Top Tray Denester uses a vision detection system to apply trays only when needed, based on operator-defined settings. Its dual-denester setup ensures uninterrupted performance, while the intuitive interface simplifies daily operation.

Key Features of the Top Tray Denester:

Smart Detection: Vision-based system identifies incoming cases and determines whether a top tray is required—minimizing waste and unnecessary movement.
Dual Denester Redundancy: Two tray denesters work in tandem. If one runs empty or experiences a fault, the other takes over automatically for continued operation.
Flexible Case Handling: Detects and handles both full and half cases with varying heights—even stacks as low as five trays—without compromising placement precision.
Precision Actuator: A linear actuator driven by an independent motor ensures fast, accurate, and secure top tray placement.
Proven Technology: Built on denester tech already used in SANOVO graders, ensuring dependable, field-tested performance.
Easy Operation and Maintenance: User-friendly touchscreen with essential buttons and an open design for simple access, inspection, and cleaning.

For producers seeking efficient automation of top tray application, the Top Tray Denester offers smart technology, built-in redundancy, and reliable performance every shift.
