Proven industrial production

SODEVA’s machines and processes have been proven in European food factories, in single-shift and multi-shift production. SODEVAMERICA brings this industrial experience to U.S. projects, with local support and product trials in Connecticut, working in partnership with Empowering Technologies Inc..

Across our worldwide partnership, Empowering Technologies focuses on aerospace and defense ultrasonic applications; SODEVA focuses on industrial food cutting and automation.

Cutting connected to the whole line

Plan automatic loading, portion spacing and discharge together with your cutting process. Allen-Bradley HMI controls and programmable connections coordinate transfers with new or existing packaging equipment.

Fixed-Weight Cheese & Yield Optimization

Base the cutting plan for portions, cubes and sticks on each cheese’s actual shape and weight. Depending on the application, weighing, dimensional measurement, 3D vision and density calculations help optimize fixed-weight portions, reduce giveaway and improve sellable yield.

Proven industrial production

Proven in Europe.
Ready for Your U.S. Line.

The machines and processes we offer in the U.S. have proven their performance in European food factories, in single-shift and multi-shift production. These mature industrial systems combine reliable cutting with low staffing requirements and automated handling for rapid ROI.

Automatic loading & discharge

SODEVA covers upstream and downstream operations. Automatic machine loading and unloading are planned as part of your line configuration, reducing manual handling throughout production.

Designed for your production floor

Machine layouts are planned for your plant, taking account of available space, product flow and surrounding equipment. Loading, cutting, transfer and discharge are considered together.

Allen-Bradley HMI

Allen-Bradley HMI operator interfaces are specified for U.S. machines, providing access to the machine settings and production controls.

New or existing packaging

Programmable connections integrate the cutting system with new packaging equipment or machines you have already purchased. Transfers and operating sequences are coordinated with your packaging process.

Automatic spacing for the next step

Cut portions are automatically spaced for packaging or coating. Product presentation and transfer are designed around the requirements of the downstream process.

Ready for pick-and-place

The line positions products for pick-and-place handling, presenting portions in the required arrangement for automatic transfer into the next production or packaging operation.

SODEVA expertise

European Engineering.
Local U.S. Support.

SODEVAMERICA connects U.S. food manufacturers with SODEVA’s engineering and manufacturing expertise in Europe, under French leadership. SODEVA controls the complete machine development process, from mechanical engineering and automation to fabrication, assembly, testing and product trials.

Our ultrasonic technology is developed in-house: converters, boosters and titanium blades. These ultrasonic components are designed and manufactured by SODEVA.

Local trials & support

Test Your Product
in Connecticut.

Bring your product and production goals to our Terryville showroom, dedicated test bench and support center. Product trials and machine demonstrations help assess cutting quality, portion accuracy, spacing and handling before final engineering.

Factory Acceptance Tests can be arranged locally according to the project configuration. Our teams coordinate installation, commissioning, operator training and technical support.
