Food Processing Machine Manufacturers Cutting Production Steps with Fiber Lasers

As demand increases in the food processing machinery industry, so does the need to use technology to find more efficient ways to produce their products. Most of the food processing equipment is made from thin stainless steel which is cut and then processed. Some examples of these machines are drum mixers, industrial filters, slicers, food crushers and much more.

Two Main Challenges for Food Processing

Cutting Speed

First is cutting speed. There is such high demand for food processing products production facilities need to run 24 hours a day, so cycle time is a very important factor. Laser Photonics, a leader in industrial laser cutting equipment, has created the solution to this dilemma with its new high power fiber laser cutting machine, the Titan FLS 48.  With the fastest cutting speed, when compared to current machines, the Titan FLS 48 is able to increase plant production speed while performing maintenance free around the clock.

Post Processing Materials

The second challenge these manufacturers run into is the post processing stage of their materials. This stage is a completely separate process which makes sure all of the edges of the products are clean and safe for everyday use. When the stainless steel has been cut in the past, it was very difficult to make sure the edges were completely smooth. This is important because jagged edges, no matter how small, will accumulate bacteria, dust and other harmful materials that are dangerous when dealing with any type of food processing. The solution to this problem is also fiber laser technology. The Titan FLS 48 uses high power fiber lasers which make such a precise and clean cut that the edges do not need this post processing stage. 

Since this one laser machine is completing these two stages at one time it is also freeing up more space in these warehouses and using less energy, which is helping these manufacturers with their efforts to become more environmentally friendly.

This is just another way that fiber laser technology is starting to change production lines around the globe. Within the next decade, most food processing machinery manufacturers and food processing companies will be implementing different laser machines to improve their cutting and marking of their products.
