Wienerberger Romania Berca plant: A cutting-edge robotic handling solution

At the Wienerberger Romania Berca Plant, SABO Heavy Clay team delivered a cutting-edge robotic handling solution that eliminates the use of conventional grippers and conventional dryer car loading & unloading mechanisms.

 In this production line all the positions for loading or unloading products, dryer frames and dryer cars have been implemented with the use of robots. The result is a flexible, productive and future-proof facility, capable of handling a wide variety of brick formats with minimal downtime.

It’s worth noting that: For the first time, SABO Engineers, working closely with Wienerberger’s Engineering Department, decided to implement robots across every single station of the plant.

Key advantages:

• Fast installation and commissioning

• High adaptability to product changes

• Low maintenance and minimal downtime

• Consistent, efficient and precise operation

• Significant productivity gains, even with a wide range of formats

In fact, the Berca plant produces over 20 different types of bricks and format changes are now quick and effortless. A task that once required significant time is now completed in just minutes.

SABO consistently supports its customers to achieve their business goals, ensuring that innovation comes with robust support and real-world performance.
