Bread rolls on CSL conveying system
February 1st 2008 Conveyor Systems has
designed an end of line
conveying system for the
packaging of various sized
bags of flavoured bread rolls
into cartons and plastic
supermarket trays.
CSL worked closely with
the customer to create the
optimum design to install
and commission the system
with minimum disruption to
production.
The project had to provide
maximum flexibility as
product is delivered from
four bagging lines at speeds
of up to 50 bags per minute,
in various pack sizes of 4, 5
or 6 units, to be packed into
cartons or trays on two
independently operating
manual packing lines
located on the first floor.
Both cardboard cartons
and plastic supermarket
trays are fed from ground
floor level. A case erector
makes up boxes of various
sizes as required, while
plastic trays are individually
dispensed from stacks,
feeding up two continuous
vertical spiral elevators to
the two packing lines on the
mezzanine floor.
Once packed into cases or
trays, the products are
transported along powered
roller conveyors via
conveyor belts down to
ground floor level. Boxes
continue on the conveying
system through case sealers
before palletising, while
plastic trays are
automatically identified and
diverted from either side to
be hand palletised or loaded
into dollies. More articles from Conveyor Systems Limited: |
