Automated Cake Cutting
TECTRA Automation has engineered a unique automated cake cutting system for Brenell Quality Desserts in Pietermaritzburg.
The company’s previous solution for cake cutting was a manual process and it now sought an automated solution that would be more productive, faster, more precise, and could cut more than one cake at a time. Tectra Automation, along with Ultrasonic Systems designed and manufactured the automated turnkey solution.
The new automated system uses an ultrasonic, vibrating blade to perfectly cut one cake in less than one minute. The ultrasonic cutter vibrates 40 000 times a second, resulting in not only fast cutting but also highly precise, non-damaging cutting within the very high food and beverage industry safety standards.
