A leading biscuit manufacturer contacted a number of materials handling companies to review and provide a packing line solution to ensure the accuracy of case fulfilment and provide a case reject system prior to automatic sealing. The contract was awarded to Conveyor Systems Limited who presented a cost effective and efficient handling solution demonstrating an understanding of their requirements. The system is easy install, service and maintain.
CSL, intalled two lines of powered shaft rollor conveyor, using skilled mechanical contract engineers, which were fitted with both twin lineshafts for positive acceleration and stops to singulate the product for presenting to a bar code scanner, which was located just prior to the case sealer.
