Reduces the need for handling
February 1st 2006 Coors Brewers in Burton- Upon-Trent uses Joloda's Hydraroll Slip Chain System for unloading and transferring pallets of empty cans. The system was introduced to enhance efficiency resulting in the reduction of the need for handling.
The Joloda Hydraroll Slip Chain system was acquired by the company in 1989 to maximise load types and reduce the amount of handling previously required from a forklift truck and operator. The Slip Chain is reported to be "extremely reliable".
The system incorporates pneumatically activated rise and fall chain and roller track giving high speed accumulation and loading of full pallet loads for factory to warehouse short shuttle operations (less than 50km).
The system's integral powered loading dock/trailer combination allows freedom and flexibility to load and unload a wide variety of palletised goods in a speedy efficient manner with minimum vehicle down time.
Coors has tailored the Hydraroll Skip Chain system to unload pallets from a live bed lorry and transport them directly onto a conveyor system that feeds the can depalletiser. The system is also used to load Dunnage onto a live bed lorry for return to the supplier.
