Loose package conveyor systems for packaging lines
In packaging lines, smoothly transferring various loose packages between stations is essential to maintain operational efficiency and prevent bottlenecks. Handling differently shaped and sized containers without causing jams or slowdowns can be a significant operational challenge for many production facilities.
Optimize package transfer with intelligent automation
The Loose Package Conveyor Systems from GEA are designed to seamlessly manage the transport of various container types within a packaging line. These systems utilize ‘intelligent automation’ to enhance the performance and coordination of individual machines, resulting in greater overall line efficiency. Capable of handling PET bottles, HDPE bottles, glass bottles, jars, and cans with multiple shapes including round, square, and handled designs, GEA’s conveyors ensure each package is transferred optimally. Features such as pressureless aligners, dynamic accumulation tables, and tilting conveyors cater to specific container characteristics. The stainless-steel construction ensures hygienic operation, reducing contamination risks. Speed modulation via inverters and Profibus, AS-I, and Devicenet field networks optimize power consumption and minimize noise. Ideal for high-speed lines, the system includes remote field PLC devices for managing complex installations efficiently.
