High level spiral case system

Previously case palletising at the company was
carried out manually at the end of each production line, and then the pallets
were transferred by pallet truck 50 metres through a busy operational area to
the warehouse. Astec designed a system to automatically merge different case
sizes from various production lines into one single line, using zero line
pressure zone controlled powered roller conveyors. The conveyor system has
resulted in labour cost savings and reduced pallet truck operations. The system
was installed as a turnkey project in conjunction with Elmleigh Electrical
which designed the electrical control system.
