An automotive manufacturer faced a significant challenge: to cap their oil containers more accurately, the containers required a more controlled feed into the rotary capper. The existing system failed to maintain the necessary precision and control, leading to inefficiencies and increased downtime.
Morrison designed a dual metering timing screw drive unit featuring the renowned shingle infeed design. This design provides exceptional positive control and handling of typically troublesome rectangular containers. The shingle infeed provides better control and positioning, keeping the containers stable and preventing jams within the system.
At the discharge point, the containers are spaced accurately for seamless entry into the rotary capper. The system’s slave-driven connection offers a cost-effective solution to container handling inefficiencies.
The timing screw drive unit was constructed from black anodized aluminum, providing a durable yet lightweight solution ideal for high-speed operations. This construction met the specific industry standards required for the automotive sector.
Morrison’s solution dramatically improved the customer’s production line efficiency. By ensuring precise and controlled feeding of containers into the rotary capper, the manufacturer experienced:
This custom solution not only addressed the immediate challenge but also provided long-term benefits, reinforcing Morrison’s commitment to delivering innovative container handling solutions for the automotive industry.
