Automation Solution
Magnetic Cutlery Sorting in the Modern Commercial Kitchen
Our innovative magnetic conveyor system relieves staff, efficiently sorts large quantities of cutlery, and ensures the highest hygiene standards—ideal for hotels, hospitals, cruise ships, and catering operations demanding top quality.
Automated sorting & transport
Up to 100 mm pickup height
Integrated demagnetization
Noise-reduced & easy to clean
Secure Cutlery Sorting in the Dishwashing Area
Fast sorting and hygienic processing even for large volumes.
Typical Locations & Applications
Whether hotel, hospital, cruise ship, production canteen, nursing homes, or large company restaurants: Our magnetic conveyor systems for cutlery sorting reliably handle automated sorting and transfer of magnetic cutlery and trays. The system significantly reduces kitchen staff workload, minimizes error sources from manual handling, and creates perfect conditions for highest hygiene standards and optimal process speed. The magnetic conveying technology automatically detects and sorts all magnetic cutlery pieces – even hidden under dishes or nested together – and quietly transports them to the separate washing line. Integrated demagnetization prevents annoying sticking after washing and ensures smooth further processing. Our systems are specifically designed for demanding commercial kitchen operations and offer maximum reliability with minimal maintenance requirements.
How it Works
Trays with dishes and cutlery are transported on a conveyor into the sorting station. The magnetic separator automatically lifts all magnetic cutlery—even if hidden under dishes. The cutlery is quietly conveyed for washing. Following cleaning, it passes through demagnetization.
Solution
Time-consuming manual cutlery sorting
Solution
Cutlery sticks together after washing
Solution
Lack of space and noisy conveyor routes
“Separierwalze für Besteckteile” as a customer-built solution
Two short videos show the finished customer solution: cutlery parts are attracted, transported and discharged in a controlled way by the rotating magnetic roller.
Separation of individual cutlery parts
Forks and spoons are picked up by the separator roller and discharged from the process.
