Clients brief was to provide a means to accept various pallets of vegetable products delivered directly from the fields,
pass them down two conveyor lines, inspect, lable, strap and send to storage for further processing.

1200mm wide twin chain pallet conveyor
Environment:
Stainless Steel equipment for a Food Factory
Throughput:
60 pallets per hour per line
Number of conveyors:
Two lines each comprising of three conveyors

Two main electrical panel's c/w plc control
Specail Features
The two lines were built around a central platfrom inspection area on dual levels for multi height inspection.
The first and third conveyors in each line were designed with a special chain allowing acumulation of pallets withour gaps,
therefore utilising maximum space available.
The middle (inspection) section on each line received groups of six pallets at a time equally spaced.
Full operator access was allowed all around each pallet using a simple key safety system.
Clients requirement
C-trak supplied and install the conveying equipment in a new factory extension, whilst interfacing with other equipment
and passing through new walls which were being built around our conveyors during the installation periond.
One of the lines was previously supplied by C-Trak 12 months before. We had to reposition this, as well as extending and
incoproating it into the new arrangment both mechanicallly and electrically.
Clients Comments
C-Trak has provided us with a fully automated pallet system which has drastically improved the efficiency of our production
process saving on labour costs and human error.
The system was installed with the minimum loss of production time.
C-Trak's after sales service was exceptional with our first line hence one of the reasons we placed further orders. I
would have no hesitation in recommending this company.
