Over/Under Box-Filling Systems
|
Maximize automated box-filling capacity in minimum floor space.
|
Large,
custom designed, Over-Under box-filling systems are an excellent
way to maximize your automation dollar. Systems can be designed
to function independently, or as part of a larger plant wide
container handling system. They can be sized to fit perfectly
along side your molding machine or within any available area.
A wide choice of options allow them to be custom configured to
meet specific application needs. Heavy Duty RM Conveyor
construction. |

 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.
- 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
- 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
- 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.
- 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
