End of line upgrade
Highland Spring Group has significantly upgraded the end of line pallet conveyors and lorry loading capability at its Fells plant in Lennoxtown. The project was handled by Aetna UK and Russell Distribution.
Initially the loading area was prepared and three dock levellers built. Then the Aetna pallet conveying system was installed to link the out feeds of the three bottling lines, taking palletised loads straight to the loading bay.
This part of the contract involved a number of modifications to the existing end of lines, coupled with the relocation of a high speed Robopac Genesis pallet wrapper, Aetna pallet conveyors, pallet turntables and a hydraulic lift system which elevates the pallets to the correct height in the loading bay.
