Deli-cate product handling
August 1st 2007

Pregis FoodService Packing manufacturers turned to Weyfringe to come up with a cost effective way to label its salad and deli containers.

Weyfringe used its Series 6000 label applicator to apply the labels and built a conveyor system fitted with elevated flights to ensure the correct location of the product prior to label application.

The shape of the pots required a new method of product handling.

Weyfringe developed a twin reciprocating pnematic jaw system which provides adequate support for the tall stack of pots or lids and allowed the controlled and reliable dispensing of individual product on to the conveyor for labelling.

Weyfringe also developed a thrust mechanism with twin traversing collators, which counted the restacked containers and switched the destination collator as required. "The lid and pot labelling systems developed for us have allowed us to bring to market a novel concept in an affordable and reliable way," says Bill Colquhoun of Pregis.

"Weyfringe took our design specification and came up with the goods which have been running reliably ever since."
