Tray buffering system for downstream absorption

Buffers and Accumulates Loaded Trays

The Tray Buffer from Royal Houdijk is an engineered solution designed to enhance the efficiency of food packaging lines by seamlessly managing downstream interruptions. Incorporating a dynamic spiral accumulator, it occupies minimal floor space while efficiently buffering and accumulating loaded trays. This system is ideal for food manufacturers and packaging companies dealing with products like potato chips, chocolate bars, and cereals. The FIFOTRAY Buffer absorbs operational interruptions by extending its track to store excess trays when a connected wrapper halts. Once the downstream capacity is restored, the system rapidly empties the stored trays, maintaining continuous operation. The buffer is PLC-controlled, ensuring smooth integration with existing production lines and allowing real-time adjustments. Its construction supports high-speed processes, accommodating the packaging of solid end-products efficiently. Customization options are available to fit specific production requirements, with engineering support provided for seamless implementation within your facilities.
