Metering Tobacco Tubs onto Puck Conveyor for Sleeving
Tobacco Handling Solution
Case Study: Morrison Dual Metering Custom Drive Assembly
INDUSTRY: Tobacco | OPERATING SPEED: 80 CPM
CONTAINER: Chewing Tobacco Tubs
Customer Container Handling Challenge: Round tubs of tobacco need to be placed onto a puck conveyor for under-wrap sleeving.
Morrison Solution: We designed a dual timing screw drive unit that accepts the full tubs of tobacco from a backlog and places them onto a puck conveyor at a 7.50” pitch to fully sleeve the product while on this conveyor.
The benefit of using a timing screw in this application is that the screws consistently present and place the containers onto the puck and are synchronized to the puck conveyor.
Construction: Black Anodized Aluminum
