Convenience & ready-meals
Fast component changes, short cycle times, strict allergen separation.
Convenience lines combine many components into a finished product: rice, vegetables, sauce, meat, side — often 10 to 20 ingredients assembled in minutes. Each ingredient arrives on the line in its own container. Our pallet boxes and hygiene pallets are engineered to change fast, be identified unambiguously and cleaned without detours.

colour-codable for separation
Fast component changes, short cycle times, strict allergen separation.
The bottleneck in convenience production is rarely portioning — it is the component changeover. Wrong ingredient, wrong container, unclear labelling: all that costs cycle time and opens allergen risks. With colour-coded Rotogal boxes, combinable with RFID inlays and UV direct print, the ingredient is always unambiguously identified — even after hundreds of wash cycles.
Your benefit
- Colour-coded purity
Each allergen block has its own colour — unmistakable even in the daily rush.
- Labellable & RFID-ready
Direct print, in-mould labelling and optional RFID inlay for fully automated track-and-trace.
- Fast changeovers
No decanting, no pouring across — box out, box in.
- HACCP-documentable
Seamless material conformity, traceable per batch.
Common pitfalls & fixes
- One colour for everything
Build a colour scheme along HACCP allergens — at least 5 colours for 14 allergens.
- Paper labels
Switch to UV direct print or in-mould labelling — wipe-proof, wash-proof, always legible.
- Mixed wash pools
Allergen-separated wash tunnels or at least sequence (allergen-free first).

Frequently asked questions
How do you reliably identify allergen pools?
Colour plus in-mould label plus optional RFID. Three redundancy layers — identification stays unambiguous even with a dirty label.
How quickly can we get custom colours?
The standard colour palette is immediately available. Custom colours (RAL) typically in 6–10 weeks from initial order.
