Automated robot kitchen
Lubrication-free solution for
highest hygiene requirements

The French start-up Cook-e developed a robot kitchen that can prepare dishes on its own. The reason? Many restaurateurs struggle with the consequences of the lack of staff in their daily business. Some entrepreneurs are accordingly tense about the future. Will the kitchen ever stay cold? Cook-e doesn't think so. The French company has found a way to relieve the burden on restaurants in times of skilled labour shortages. A robot kitchen quickly takes over the hard work. By automating simple tasks and reducing associated costs, restaurant owners can invest more capital in ingredients to offer better quality dishes.

But how can it cook without staff? You can find out this and much more about Cook-e's exciting project on this page:

Profile

  • What was needed: Electric linear modules
  • Requirements: Robust components that function even under high temperatures and potential contamination. All components should also be free of external lubrication.
  • Industry: food industry
  • Success for the customer: By using igus® materials, no lubrication is required that could contaminate the utensils. In addition, a more compact design was possible, by which the volume of the machine could be reduced.

Problem

Cook-e wants to use the robot kitchen to address the problems in today's catering industry. More and more young talent are deciding against working at night or on weekends. In addition, it is often difficult for restaurateurs to find qualified staff. At the same time, the costs of high-quality food continue to rise. A dilemma that causes problems for many entrepreneurs.

The robot kitchen is intended for use in a restaurant kitchen or in a self-service area. These places put a lot of stress on the machines, especially because of the heat and humidity caused by the activity. Accordingly, the components must be lubrication-free and extremely robust. Hygiene also plays a major role and must meet the highest standards.

Another challenge is that the robotic kitchen must be compact, as kitchens are often small and the cost per square metre for restaurants increases sharply. Restaurateurs struggle with high rent prices, particularly in urban areas and metropolises.

Solution

The robot kitchen offers fresh dishes in a short time. The customer's orders are sent directly to the robot, which immediately begins preparing them. Modules within the robot kitchen are able to precisely dose the ingredients. The ingredient falls into the transport bucket, which transports it to a kind of pan that can turn and tilt itself. The whole thing is controlled by software and heated by induction. The transport bucket and pan are automatically cleaned after each use. By automating simple tasks and reducing associated costs, restaurant owners can invest more capital in ingredients to offer better quality dishes.

The kitchen robot meets the hygiene standards (HACCP). At this point, the use of igus® toothed belt axes is a real advantage, because igus® manufactures the shaft end support and linear carriages from corrosion-free stainless steel. The carriages move on linear plain bearings made of high-performance plastic. This means that the plain bearings do not require any lubrication and are therefore maintenance-free. In addition, the igus® solutions enable a more compact design, which means the volume of the machine can be reduced.
