MHM Automation provides innovative, automated solutions for meat, poultry and protein handling.
Applications for our equipment and services span materials handling, packaging, reverse packaging, chilling and freezing.
Benefits of our equipment include reducing labor requirements, improving workplace safety and reducing energy consumption, whilst also improving product quality and food safety.
Founded in New Zealand, we now have global operations for installations and support. We have completed hundreds of installations for many of the world's biggest names in meat, poultry and dairy processing.
We are best known for our ability to develop custom solutions to meet our customers' unique process requirements.
Highlights of our product offerings include:
Chilling and freezing tunnels: Carton freezing tunnels are high-throughput automated systems to chill or freeze boxes or crates of meat and poultry products. Their fast chill or freeze (2-48 hours) preserves product quality and uses significantly less energy than manual blast freezing cells. Our tunnels were the first of their kind introduced to the market in the 1970s and are today recognised for their superior performance and reliability.
Reverse packaging: We offer world-leading systems for de-palletizing and de-boxing bulk meat products, to prepare them for further processing. Featuring cutting-edge vision systems, our equipment is capable of handling multiple box sizes on the fly.
Materials handling: Our materials handling systems span carton/box packaging systems, conveying, automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), palletizing, and pallet handling using Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs).
Our stand at IFFA will feature an Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) demonstration. Come and see this exciting new technology for handling and moving pallets within a facility. As an alternative to pallet conveyors or AGVs, AMRs offer a range of benefits including fast and cost-effective setup, scalability and the ability to operate safely around people, thanks to their onboard vision systems.
