Creates space and raises safety levels
April 1st 2008 An overhead conveyor
system has created extra
floor space and solved the
problem of forklifts
encroaching on people
traffic for Florette, producer
of ready-to-eat bagged
salads and vegetables.
The 250m long cable
conveyor was supplied and
installed by OCA, France in
conjunction with Rusmail
Conveyor Systems of
Birmingham. The system
was designed to free up
work space by carrying away
storage crates and eliminate
the need for pallets in the
production area.
Anthony Fremond, project
engineer for Florette said:
"The production line is now
free flowing and safe for
workers because we don't
need to send in the forklifts
to remove empty pallets
from around the work
stations. Also, crates are not
being left in the area to
cause a tripping hazard." More articles from Rusmail Conveyor Systems Ltd: |
