Cereal Bowls are code dating on the bottom of the container, but they need to be turned upside down on the production line for this to happen.
We designed a twist timing screw drive assembly that inverts the full, sealed cereal cups from a backlog or random feed, and twists them 180 degrees so a code dater can print on the bottom of the bowls.
The UHMW twist works with the timing screw to positively control the container as it enters the system and flips the container upside down. Being able to accept the containers at a random feed allows for more versatility with this solution.
We mounted the system diagonally across the conveyor so the same conveyor can be used at the infeed and discharge of the timing screw assembly.
This system was created from Black Anodized Aluminum.
Morrison’s leading-edge twist timing screw drive assembly provided an effective solution for inverting cereal bowls, enabling accurate code dating on the bottom of the containers. The system’s ability to handle random feed inputs increased its versatility, while the diagonal mounting optimized conveyor usage. This solution met the customer’s expectations.
