MACHINES | Modular, belt, screw or roller? A guide to choosing conveyors
In an automated packaging process, conveyors play the role of the arteries of the entire system. When designed correctly, production runs smoothly. According to some studies, proper integration of conveyor systems can increase Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) by 15% to 25%*. Otherwise, they become a bottleneck that slows down the performance of even the fastest packaging machines.
Whether you are handling the transport of bulk mixtures to a hopper, moving finished bags to cartoning, or transferring filled cartons to palletizing, choosing the right type of conveyor is a critical decision. Even more important, however, is its proper integration into the entire packaging line. In this article, we will break down which types of conveyors are suitable for specific stages of your line and when to choose belt and roller conveyors, modular systems, or an auger conveyor.
CASE STUDY | Automatic fertilizer packaging at Agroracio
For more than 25 years, Agroracio had been packaging multi-component granular fertilizers by hand. Two to four employees per shift filled buckets from bulk bags, sealed them, and placed them on a pallet. However, manual packaging was physically demanding, slow, and also brought the risk of product contamination and batch inaccuracy.
In order to handle higher production volumes and reduce dependence on manual labor, the customer decided to invest in automation. The project resulted in the production of a completely new type of machine for automatically packaging fertilizer into buckets of various volumes.
CASE STUDY | Food Packaging Automation
How to pack thousands of jars and pouches in a limited space – and reduce the environmental footprint at the same time?
Czech food company was looking for a way to replace its aging cartoning system for filled jars and move towards more sustainable food packaging.
The goal was to replace the paper tray and shrink PE film with a fully recyclable cardboard package.
The second challenge was to automate the packaging of single-portion pouches (100 ml) of tartar sauce and mayonnaise, which had previously been assembled manually.
And all of this within limited space.
