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. More articles from Conveyor Systems Limited: |
