Dual-Lane Screw Denesting to Support Consistent Downstream Filling

Customer Container Handling Challenge 

The customer needed to denest two lanes of stacked trays at a constant speed to feed a downstream filling process. Maintaining stable throughput and smooth integration with existing conveyor systems was critical. The customer also required a system compact enough to fit their space while accommodating operator-fed stacks.

Morrison Solution 

Morrison engineered a dual-lane vertical denesting system that utilizes a timing screw cartridge that is easy to maintain and change over. Each lane was built to handle its own stack, enabling simultaneous tray placement at a combined speed of 60 containers per minute. The system included stack lights to alert operators of low product and was designed to integrate directly with the customer’s high-friction takeaway conveyor.

Construction 

Built from stainless steel for durability, the system included a structural base frame and all required hardware for mounting to the customer’s conveyor. No washdown was needed on this machine. System guarding was purchased as an option to allow for an operator to load stacks into the infeed chutes of each lane.

Results

The result is a dual-lane denesting solution tailored to support efficient, consistent tray separation. The system’s modular design and integration-ready configuration provides operational flexibility while maintaining the speed required for downstream filling.
