Packline system's on the case
April 1st 2009 A leading biscuit
manufacturer recently
tendered a packing line
contract. Potential suppliers
had to demonstrate
accuracy of case fulfilment
and provide a case reject
system prior to automatic
sealing. Conveyor Systems
(CSL) won the business.
Handling a range of
different sized cartons
packed with biscuits
(240/500mm x
180/320mm) and of various
weights (1.8kg /10kg), the
new conveying system had
to ensure that the cases
fulfilled relevant criteria –
identifying product and
content quantity prior to
presenting to a new
automatic case sealer.
CSL installed two lines of
powered roller conveyor,
fitted with both twin
lineshafts for positive
acceleration and stops to
singulate the product for
presenting to a bar code
scanner, which was located
just prior to the case sealer.
Any case not conforming to
the identity barcode
specifications are rejected by
a pusher transfer on to a
side reject lane to be
checked. Conveyor Systems
designed, installed and
commissioned the system,
including building the
control panel.
Cases that are scanned
with the correct barcode
continue to the automatic
case sealer, which identifies
and adjusts itself to the
correct dimensions in order
to seal the case.
The system was installed
on time and on budget with
minimum disruption. More articles from Conveyor Systems Limited: |
