A belt conveyor is required for the automatic processing of returned items of clothing in the mail order business. The returned items of clothing are packed in plastic bags and must be fired out of the packaging machine with great momentum into the collection bags on an overhead conveyor system.
Flexible and Modular Machine Construction for Maximum Diversity of Variants
The increasing importance of packaging in the transport and storage of goods has made the packaging industry the most important actor between the manufacturer and the end consumer. Enormous demand for ever-evolving product and process innovations has made the market increasingly customer focused.
Practical examples
Whether it’s primary, secondary or tertiary packaging, our extensive portfolio of modular components in the areas of profile, conveyor and handling technology lets you achieve virtually any packaging task. Our products can be integrated directly in the packaging machine or to connect packaging steps.
Conveyor Systems
mk conveyor systems have mastered the challenges of modern automation. We employ innovative solutions for feeding and removing product and for interlinking a wide variety of machining centres, including buffering, storage and labelling.
Profiles
Our profile construction kit with more than 200 aluminium profiles lets you construct machine frames and protective device guards with unrivalled functionality and high-quality design.
The versatility of the mk system lets you change products and formats quickly and reliably, even in complex tasks. Systems can be modified or expanded by simply replacing and reusing individual modules and stations. Robust profiles and sturdy screw connections ensure absolute precision in tasks with high cycle rates and machine vibrations. The profile construction kit ensures that all products are perfectly compatible with one another.
Task
Unfolded shoe boxes first need to be sprayed with adhesive and then folded in the next machine in a packaging plant. A conveyor must transport the cartons past the spraying units, around a curve and to the box folding machine. The system is designed to process up to 115 cartons per minute,…
Problem definition
To position and package tubes, empty trays must be advanced to a positioning station. Tubes are loaded into the trays, which are again discharged upon completion. The loaded trays are then advanced to a packaging system.
