Nantsune: Ushering Automation to Food Processing

Nantsune has introduced numerous tools for efficient and automated food processing and packaging. The company’s SCORPION CM-230 allows the user to specify the position of the thinly sliced product to be dished precisely on the food tray. Similarly, Nantsune’s AIR-2K can reliably unseal the poultry bag based on itsproprietary methodology without the use of costly 3D cameras and other sensors. On the other hand, the LIBRA series can cut irregularly shaped meat logs in fixed weight with a maximum error of ±5 percent, which is generally considered difficult even for skilled labor. All of the machines offered by Nantsune boast of excellent cost performance based on standard functions that perform the required tasks, rather than equipping with fancy functions that go unused
