Automation and conveyor equipment
To ensure efficient integration with production lines and automation of core equipment, we develop customised product conveying solutions that optimise workflows and increase productivity in a variety of industries.
1.FSS FLOW SYNCHRONISATION SYSTEM
Controlling the speed of flows. The synchronisation system regulates the speed of transport of materials or products at different stages of the process, ensuring that they are coordinated with other systems and constraints, such as the speed of the main equipment (cartoners, packaging machines, etc.).
Adjusting the intervals between units. It is important to ensure an even flow of materials and products to avoid accumulation or congestion on the conveyor. To do this, the system controls the intervals between product units.
Synchronisation with other automated systems. The synchronisation system often interacts with other automation elements, such as sensors, servos, or programmable logic controllers (PLCs), to ensure that all parts of the production line work together in a coordinated manner.
Adapting to changing operating conditions. The system can adapt to changing conditions, such as changes in processing speed, changes in production volume or line changeovers.
2.THE PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FOR FEEDING INTO THE PACKAGING MACHINE
A mechanism that ensures efficient and uniform product supply to packaging machines, which is an important stage of process automation in production.
It avoids congestion and distortion during the transport of materials to the packaging unit, optimises the distribution of product flow and improves packaging speed and accuracy.
3. PRODUCT GROUPING AND STACKING SYSTEMS (RSC, SC) – COLLATORS – PLAY A KEY ROLE IN ENSURING THAT PRODUCTS ARE GROUPED ACCORDING TO
predefined sizes or quantities and then feeding them into the cartoner for final packaging.
THE MAIN FUNCTIONS OF COLLATORS:
Grouping of products. The system collects products from various upstream processes and groups them into predefined quantities. This can include organising products into rows, layers or stacks, depending on the configuration required for the carton.
Product orientation. Collators often ensure that products are correctly orientated before they are fed into the box. For example, bottles need to be aligned vertically and cans horizontally. This is achieved through the use of conveyors, guides and positioning devices.
Distribution and accumulation. The system separates products that need to be grouped together and temporarily buffers them if necessary. This is especially useful when products move at different speeds or when there is a mismatch between production speeds at different stages of the line.
Feeding to the cartoner. After the products are grouped, the sorting system feeds them to the cartoner. This is usually done by means of a conveyor or an automatic feeding system that places the products in the correct position in the carton.
Customising the packaging system. Some systems can be configured to create different packaging configurations depending on the carton design and type of product being packaged.
4. OTHER CONVEYORS, CONVEYOR SYSTEMS, AND ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT REQUIRED TO ENSURE THE COMPLETE CYCLE OF THE CUSTOMER’S PACKAGING PROCESS.
