Our esteemed customer, a significant player in global End-of-line (EOL) Packaging Automation for the food industry, sought a specialised solution for a challenging secondary packaging application in their fast-paced ice cream production line. Grappling with spatial constraints and distinctive product flow challenges, they needed a conveyor system seamlessly integrating with their robotic packaging solution.
With over 40 years of industry leadership, our customer is a cornerstone in EOL packaging automation, serving giants in global food processing. Having collaborated on numerous occasions, Wire Belt Company Ltd, a renowned leader in hygienic conveyors and metal conveyor belts, shares a robust relationship with the customer, intimately understanding their industry nuances and challenges.
The project encompassed a large, intricate packaging line with irregularities at an intersection, causing disruptive product flow and hindering downstream robotic operations. The challenge was to engineer a conveyor system to fit seamlessly within the line, accommodating changes in width and height without compromising product integrity, all within a confined space.
Wire Belt engaged in close collaboration with the customer to comprehend intricate parameters. The Ladder-Flex conveyor emerged as the ideal solution for efficient product spreading but required a custom frame for a gentle 10-degree decline without compromising structural integrity. Drive components, drive shafts, leg assemblies and motor housing also had to be redesigned to reduce the overall conveyor width, aligning precisely with the client’s specifications.
Though this customisation extended lead times and incurred additional costs, Wire Belt, unwavering in its commitment to client satisfaction, was versatile in meeting the revised requirements. The final conveyor was delivered three weeks ahead of the revised estimated date.
The tailored Ladder-Flex conveyor seamlessly addressed the change in line parameters, ensuring precise infeed and outfeed dimensions within the available space. Empowered by this solution, the customer executed their project for a major frozen desert producer, meeting deadlines and budget constraints.
In the dynamic realm of food processing, Wire Belt’s century-long expertise is unparalleled in balancing industry challenges, budget constraints, and quality considerations. Wire Belt’s range of metal conveyor belts and conveyors offer both standard and tailored solutions. The Ladder-Flex conveyor is a testament to their commitment to overcoming unique challenges, ensuring optimal performance for clients.
