Our customer needed a way to handle denesting cheese cups that were tightly packed. The cups needed to be placed on a conveyor and maintain pitch for the downstream application.
Morrison’s container handling experts tackled this challenge by designing a two-lane system to denest the cheese cups. The system accepted 2 lanes of cheese cups and denested them onto 2 separate conveyors. The system was equipped with a rotary disk allowing excess cup to be fed into the system creating a backlog. This allowed operators to avoid filling directly into the timing screws. As a vertical denester, this system accepts the containers from an upright stack, and they are dropped below onto the conveyor to be filled.
The system was built from lightweight, durable black anodized aluminum with food-safe UHMW plastic timing screws, meeting all dairy industry standards.
Morrison’s solution for denesting cheese cups effectively handled tightly packed containers, placing them on the conveyor while maintaining the correct pitch and streamlining the production process. The rotary disk provided a practical solution for managing backlog, reducing the need for direct operator intervention. This system increased throughput and met the expectations of the customer.
