A wine manufacturer struggled with orienting wine glasses on their packaging line. The top-heavy containers needed precise metering to prevent shingling and ensure smooth downstream operations.
Our team designed a custom timing screw drive unit that accepted wine glass containers from a backlog and metered and oriented them automatically to continue onto the downstream operation. Due to the nature of the shape, the wine glass containers were prone to shingle, so our container handling experts designed a case-specific infeed to accept randomly oriented and randomly spaced containers and control then at the stem to inhibit the shingle capabilities.
The timing screw drive unit was constructed from black anodized aluminum, offering a durable yet lightweight solution perfect for high-speed operations. This construction met the stringent industry standards required for handling alcohol containers.
Morrison’s custom solution significantly improved the efficiency and reliability of the wine manufacturer’s production line. Key benefits include:
By implementing Morrison’s tailored timing screw drive unit, the wine manufacturer overcame their container handling challenge, achieving a more efficient and reliable production process.
