Indexing Cotton Candy Tubs

Customer Container Handling Challenge 

A cotton candy manufacturer came to us needing to index and meter tubs of their product from a backlog for a downstream application. The system needed to handle the product gently, ensuring no damage to the containers while strictly adhering to all food industry standards.

Morrison Solution 

Our expert engineers designed a set of dual timing screw drive units, that took product from a backlog and indexed the containers to the desired pitch. The large candy tubs fit directly into its screw pocket, and the tubs can be choke or random fed into the screws. Our container handling experts helped to ensure that the containers were indexed correctly for the downstream application.

Construction 

This system was constructed from black anodized aluminum and food-safe UHMW plastic, providing a robust and easy-to-clean solution. It met all the standards of the food industry.
