It may be a bit difficult to see but
the two long "conveyors" are in fact not conveyors but two eleven
metre high lifts, which are being disassembled for shipment.
The two lifts and a number of pallet conveyors are going to be
installed at a factory in the Middle East.
Four
Pallet Dispensers All in a Row Sales of our new pallet dispenser are
doing well so now we are producing 5 units of which 4 of them are sold
already.
Lifting of heavy sacks was eliminated using a robot and roller
conveyors
Many companies encounter health and safety problems when employees
are lifting goods which at the end of the day total many kilos –
this possibly combined with ackward working postures as well.
Alfix of Denmark, which produces
adhesives, grouts, and
levelling compounds for the construction industry were having health
and safety problems in connection with their order picking as the
employees had to lift many
25 kg heavy sacs from the floor to a pallet
placed on a pallet jack.
An automation of the order picking process has now solved the
problems and led to increased productivity and accuracy in order
picking.
Alfred Priess A/S of
Denmark
has started using a new conveyor system. This plant has streamlined
the manufacturing process in the part of the production where masts
for lamp post are manufactured.
Additionally, the working environment has been much improved as all
heavy liftings and other kinds of straining manual handling have
been eliminated.
We have supplied
Pepsi Cola with a conveyor system for handling pallets loaded with cans.
The system is an addition to
an existing conveyor line and comprises a turntable that turns the
pallet before it runs onto the transverse Q conveyor. Further down
the line some of the pallets are angle-transferred onto another Q
conveyor line, while others continue to the end of the conveyor.
Pepsi
Cola are very satisfied with the conveyor system and have already now
set another conveyor project in motion.
The plant
is being tested at Q-System A
similar plant is installed at Velux Poland
Velux, the Danish manufacturer of skylights,
has bought yet another Q handling system – this time for their new
Russian factory.
Together with Velux we have just made a factory
acceptance test of the transport and handling system which is going
to be delivered to Velux's new factory in
Rostov. The plant comprises 6 double scissor
lifting tables, each with a load capacity of 6 tonnes, driven pallet
conveyors and a 6 m long operator-driven transfer cart.
The plant is to be installed at the raw materials
reception. Here a bundle of wood is placed on the transfer cart by
forklift truck whereupon the driver of the cart takes it to one of
the six work stations each comprising a lifting table and a pallet
conveyor.
The cart driver transfers the bundle to the lifting
table being in bottom position. The operator can now raise the table
to working height and start feeding wood into the machine. The
pallet conveyor is for waste wood et cetera which will be picked up
and transported away on the transfer cart.
In 2006 we supplied
Velux's factory in Poland a similar plant so Velux Russia know that
they will get a plant that works 100 per cent as they want it to; so
no unpleasant surprises in store!

Through our Dutch
partner, Integrated Logistic Systems (ILS), we have just handed-over
a pallet handling system to the company of Hegron, which is a
manufacturer of a variety of hair and body care products.
Hegron has just
built a new warehouse next to the existing building. The problem
was, however, that there is a road between the existing building and
the new warehouse.
Linpac Plastics
Chose a Q Pallet Conveyor System for
Their Finished Goods
Our
British partner, Andrews Automation, has recently finalised the
installation of an extensive pallet handling system with Linpac
Plastics who is a leading worldwide producer of a wide range of
rigid plastic and expanded EPS food packaging trays. The system is
designed to transport finished products from manufacturing to the
ware-house.
