Automated Packaging System: Overview

Advance have recently designed and manufactured a fully automated packaging conveyor system for a food manufacturing company. The system takes boxes of product, feeds them through a top taper machine and then back out for operators to collect fully sealed.

As the first image shows, boxes (of varying sizes) are fed onto the infeed conveyor. These boxes come from a box filling machine so they are just ready to be sealed.

Advance also design and manufacture box filling systems which can bu used with the packaging system to fully automate the process.

As the next image shows, the boxes are then indexed onto the gravity roller lift section.

Once the box has been indexed onto the lift system it is pneumatically raised to the next conveyor section, then pushed off the gravity rollers and onto the next belt conveyor.

Once on that belt conveyor the boxes are then indexed into the top taper machine and come out the other end fully sealed onto another belt conveyor where they will be fed to the end of the system for operators to collect.

The next image shows the lift in it's raised position, ready to push another box onto the belt conveyor.

The system is fully PLC controlled using sensors to index the boxes at the appropriate times.
