Indexing Laundry Detergent

Customer Container Handling Challenge 

A large laundry detergent manufacturer needed to upgrade their existing metering system so it could run a new container shape. By upgrading an existing machine, the manufacturer would save time and money.

Morrison Solution 

Morrison’s engineers designed a system that enabled our customer to consistently fill empty laundry detergent containers. They customized a timing screw drive unit to seamlessly integrate with the customer’s existing setup. This unit fed the containers into the timing screw, where they were paused and indexed at a consistent speed and position before continuing along the conveyor belt. At Morrison, our goal was to deliver more than just a satisfactory product. Our engineers aimed to support our customers in another critical area—reducing downtime on the manufacturing floor. By cutting downtime during packaging, especially when switching between different container types and sizes, efficiency improves significantly. To achieve this, Morrison supplied the customer with dual deluxe adjusters designed to streamline changeovers and minimize downtime.

Construction 

Morrison’s innovative solution was crafted from stainless steel and UHMW plastic, offering a durable yet lightweight construction.

Results

Morrison’s custom timing screw drive unit provided consistent indexing and speed, maintaining high speeds and throughput. The inclusion of the dual deluxe adjusters reduced downtime during container changeovers.
