Space saving, Over-Under system provides hours of unattended box filling.

This custom, 5 level Box-filling system maximizes unattended filling times by allowing 4 rows of boxes to be filled and stored before an operator is needed. A Lexan® cover encloses the lift. A pneumatic cylinder, retracts the chute to allow the elevator to move up and down.

Versatile, Over-Under system offers 3 fill positions.

1. Empty boxes are placed onto the top conveyor. They are positioned onto the elevator platform by an indexing conveyor with a photoeye (or a cleat switch). The elevator lowers them and moves them into the fill position (1), where they are filled by an under press conveyor.
2. This fill position is similar to position #1, except the under press conveyor fills boxes through an opening in the safety cage. This option maximizes full box storage.
3. Empty boxes can be placed on the top conveyor and be filled by a robot. The filled box is indexed onto the elevator and lowered to the bottom storage conveyor.

Multi-level trunkline box filling system fills boxes at multiple molding machines, then removes them to a common storage area.

How does it work?

• Empty boxes are diverted off of the lower trunkline to a 2 position box filling station (1 fill position, 1 empty box position.
• The box in the fill position is fed by a feeding conveyor coming from the press.
• As boxes are filled, they are moved back to the trunkline.
• An elevator (not shown) at the end of the lower trunkline moves filled boxes to the upper trunkline.
• Boxes are moved on the upper trunkline to a storage or shipping area
