A
well known international food company asked their local authorized
Belco distributor for help with a shrink wrapping system for their
25 and 50 count packages of frozen hash browns.
The
target speed was 80 packages per minute with the ability to surge
to 90 packages when necessary. The two container sizes were identical
except for length and weight and traveled single file down the
customer’s conveyor line to be automatically fed into the
wrapping machinery.
DFC
Packaging in Victoria, Australia brought this project to Belco
to provide a turn-key solution for their customer’s requirement.
Belco
engineers recommended the high speed Merlin F/F/S wrapper with
a standard Shuttleworth High Speed Gated SmartFeed 10 foot infeed
conveyor to properly handle the customer’s packages.
Belco
proceeded to custom integrate the two machines and by adding a
set of photo-eyes to meet the higher surge speeds, completed the
system with standard components for reliability, versatility and
robust performance. |
