Installation automated filling and tilting system

Trotec offers customer-focused automated filling and tilting systems to load the by-products into containers in an easy and ergonomic way.

Registration with IoT

These filling systems run on innovative software that registers the weight and/or volume of by-products. This IoT application enables the transport department to optimize the logistics process. Online reports give the producer insight into the generated production waste.

Bioboxes

Bio boxes are used for smaller volumes.

These hard-wearing containers can be reused after a thorough clean in an automated washing system. The use of bio boxes helps to reduce the share of disposable or lost packing material.

Collection & transport

The process begins with the pick-up of secondary flows at the food company with our own transport solution. Pick-ups are mainly done with containers specially designed for food products.

Unpacking and separating

With a state-of-the-art unpacking system packing material is efficiently separated from the basic raw materials.
We always look for the most sustainable solution with regards to the separated packaging. Nothing goes to waste.

We valorize following products into a basic ingredient for animal feed

Trotec processes both packed and unpacked food products (in bulk) from the food industry and the retail sector. Thermal treatment is an absolute must from a microbiological perspective. The focus is therefore primarily put on food products with a dry matter content of at least 40%.
