Introducing Garvey’s New Product Solution for Frozen and Refrigerated Food Production

At Garvey, we understand the unique challenges faced by food production companies in ensuring that meals and food items are properly oriented and single-filed after coming out of a flash, blast, shock, tunnel, or spiral freezers. Our latest product solution is designed to streamline this process, making it easier for companies to transition to the next stage of packaging, whether it’s applying branded cardboard sleeves or loading items into multipack containers.

Key Features & Benefits

Precision Orientation: Ensures meals and food items are perfectly aligned for the next packaging stage.

  • 3D Chute – Unique to Garvey’s process, enables passive orientation
  • Passive or Non-Contact Orientation – In most cases, the orientation is handled passively without mechanical arm movement, reducing the risk of product damage. In some cases, air is used as a non-contact option to assist in product movement.
  • Narrow-Edge Leading & Single-Filed – Ideal for sleeve cartoning and other packaging processes, Garvey’s equipment enables orientation with the narrow-edge leading in output.

Laning: Align products from a mass flow single source to single lanes feeding multiple upstream equipment.
Increased Efficiency: Reduces downtime and increases throughput, allowing for faster production cycles.

Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of products, from heat and eat mashed potatoes and mac and cheese to delicate bakery items like cupcakes, pastries and seasonal treats.

Durability: Built to withstand the rigors of industrial food production environments.
