Case Studies

Case Study 1 Chain Pallet Conveying System

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.
 
Brief Spec
 

Conveyor type:        

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

Full control system:

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.
