Specialist tote transport June 1st 2009 When LINPAC Allibert
consolidated its plastic
returnable packaging
operations in the UK to its
site in Winsford, Cheshire, it
turned to the Kaybe division
of CI Logistics to design an
efficient system to transport
the moulded totes by pallet
around the two floors of the
asssembly hall and then into
the warehouse next door.
Handling up to 42 different
product lines at one time, CI
Logistics has designed,
manufactured and installed
a specialist handling system
that makes innovative use of
a vertical elevator, shuttle
cars, chain driven powered
roller conveyors and chain
transfer devices.
In addition to
manufacturing the materials
handling scheme, the inhouse
team at CI Logistics
also provided the controls
system for the entire
solution. More articles from CI Logistics: |
