A household products manufacturer wanted to automate the nesting and denesting process of their labeling system. This solution needed to take tightly packed containers and denest them while operating at high speeds. It was very important that this system met the strict standards of the household products industry.
Our engineers devised a dual drive assembly system to be applied within the labeling head system that would accept a backlog of nested pots, denest them by spacing the pots so there would be sufficient room to apply the label as close to the bottom as possible.
Once the pots are labeled, Morrison re-nests them and discharges them in stacks for the operator to receive. In order to get proper counts in each stack, a laser counts the pots as they are re-nested, discharging the stack after it reaches a predetermined size.
The timing screw drive unit was constructed from black anodized aluminum, offering a durable yet lightweight solution perfect for high-speed operations, while the timing screws were made from plastic UHMW. This construction met the stringent industry standards required for handling household products containers.
Morrison’s innovative solution significantly improved the efficiency of the customer’s production line. The dual drive assembly, denested300 containers per minute, allowing the manufacturer’s production to run precisely and quickly. This system also gave the manufacturer several other benefits including:
• Increased Efficiency: the automated system significantly improved the efficiency of the labeling process by seamlessly denesting, labeling, and renesting the pots.
• Reduced Manual Labor: automation reduced the need for manual labor, leading to lower operational costs and minimized human error.
