Full design and install
May 1st 2010

Heating technology manufacturer Vaillant returned to Conveyor Systems to re-configure and relocate one of three existing CSL packaging conveyor lines, modifying PLC software to handle a new product introduced to the range. The fully automatic heavy duty system was designed to transport a new central heating boiler on a polystyrene base to an ergonomic position that facilitates quick and safe packing in an 875mm high cardboard sleeve, prior to banding.

Product is transferred down an inclined conveyor to a low level gravity conveyor to provide the optimum working height for applying packaging materials. Once packed the load is transported on powered roller conveyor and singulated by means of an automatic stop, indexing product feed to two inline banders to secure the load.

Exiting the bander, product is gathered at the end of the line to be removed and palletised by a vacuum lifter. CSL designed and installed the system, including mechanical repositioning of existing kit.
