This
system diverts empty boxes from the lower trunkline, fills
them at the press and then moves the filled boxes back to the
lower trunkline.
The lower trunkline takes them to an elevator which lifts them
to the upper trunkline which transports them to
a storage area.

How
does it work?
Empty
boxes are diverted off of the lower trunkline to small
(2 position), box filling stations.
Boxes
are filled by feeding conveyors coming from the presses.
Filled
boxes are moved back onto the trunkline.
An
elevator at the end of the system (not shown) moves filled
boxes to
the upper trunkline.
Boxes
are moved on the upper trunkline to a storage or shipping
area.
