Metering Chapstick for Labeling
Cosmetics Handling Solution
Case Study: Dual Mini Metering Custom Drive Assembly
INDUSTRY: Cosmetics | OPERATING SPEED: 120 CPM
CONTAINER: Chapstick
Customer Container Handling Challenge: Chapstick containers are small and difficult to handle, and these needed to be “Squared Up” as they entered a labeler.
Morrison Solution: Morrison designed a custom timing screw drive unit to accept the chapstick containers, randomly fed and meter them to a constant pitch of 6” so the containers are placed flat on the portion of the links on the conveyor chain which creates stability as they are fed into the labeling application.
Using the positive control of our timing screws, we were able to handle the difficult containers precisely.
Construction: Black Anodized Aluminum
