Inverting Deodorant Sticks

Customer Container Handling Challenge 

A personal care product manufacturer required a solution to invert deodorant sticks 180 degrees, turning them from upside down to right-side up. This was essential for their production process to streamline downstream operations and allowed for the containers to be properly oriented for filling and packaging. The solution needed to include both a prototype and production-ready components while maintaining precise handling of the containers.

Morrison Solution 

Morrison engineered a Twist Block assembly tailored to the specific needs of the deodorant stick containers. The solution included:

  • Prototype Twist Block: A prototype designed to invert containers 180 degrees, providing proof of concept and an initial testing phase.
  • Production Twist Block: A robust and fully production-ready Twist Block for sustained operations.
  • Mounting Items: Each Twist Block was equipped with all necessary mounting items for seamless integration with the customer’s existing setup.
  • Customization for Container Type: Both the prototype and production units were designed to handle the specific deodorant stick containers with precision.

Construction 

The Twist Block assembly was constructed to handle the rigorous demands of production environments. The materials and design provided durability, ease of cleaning, and compatibility with the customer’s production line requirements.
