During the production of sausage cold cuts, the filled packs are output from the packaging machine in four lines. For further processing, they have to be brought together into a single transport line. The packs also have to pass through two 90° curves to reach the next belt conveyor.
In the manufacture of tobacco goods, tobacco containers should be furnished with an additional label. A belt conveyor is required, that serves as a separator from the filling system and can be integrated with the customer's labelling machine.
Task
A manufacturer of X-ray systems for the food and aviation industries is developing a new system which requires a conveyor that can accommodate X-ray plates. The material to be conveyed, in this case large fish, must be X-rayed on the conveyor as it passes through the system and then conveyed…
Problem definition
During the production of chocolate bars, the bars are to be transported from the packaging machine to a downstream conveyor. There is only very limited space available. A height difference of around 480 mm and a 90° curve must be circumnavigated. During the vertical ascent, the…
Problem definition
In a confectionery production department, packaged chocolates need to be separated upon exiting the individual packaging unit and conveyed to the repackaging process. The conveyor unit needs to be mobile in design so that it can be used on different production lines. In addition,…
Problem definition
Unpackaged granules need to be transported in a food production application. The conveyor technology needs to provide constant transport in a straight line; there are no requirements regarding the position or orientation of the product being conveyed. The system is part of the…
Problem definition
Food production application requires automated interlinking of multiple production steps and circulation of pallets. Multiple pallets with relatively high loads need to be transported. The conveyor systems need to be able to buffer the pallets. Pass-through clearances need to be…
Problem definition
Stacked pallets need to be dynamically buffered in a food production application. A storage capacity of about 500 pallets is required, which corresponds to about 30,000 products.
mk Solution
Buffer consisting of ZRF-P 2040.02 timing belt conveyors on two levels. The timing belt…
Stacked pallets in a food production application need to be lifted so that they can be buffered on multiple levels. Pallet stacks weighing 50 kg each need to be transported. The stroke length is approximately 3300 mm. The machine needs to lift and lower but also convey in order…
Problem definition
In a food production application, stacked pallets need to be rotated by 90° and then further transported in the same direction so that they can be transferred to a buffer system. The pallets have a length/width ratio of 1 : 2.5, which is unfavourable for rotary motion. One pallet…
