FT-7000 Transfer Unit

Transcription

1 As more and more food and liquor containers are being produced in non-round, oval or flask containers, the need to implement dedicated production equipment is becoming more and more important. The FT-7000 has been specifically designed for these typically unstable containers providing greater container stability and improved production efficiencies. Features and Benefits Reliable cross conveyor spacing 2 finger sizes Minimal spares holding 4 finger spacing configurations Consistent ware handling up to 300BPM Transfers flask containers with a major axis of 40mm to 125mm For optimum performance we recommend use with Sheppee Cross Conveyor Adjustable top and bottom ware guides Recommended service intervals 12 months Presents containers at 45 therefore increasing stability Carbon or SSB insulation Provides space between rows at the cold end allowing for cold end spray to cover outside of container Increased production efficiencies due to dedicated and unique transfer design Potential 100% payback within 1 week

3 The handling of unstable non round containers always accounts for a high percentage of production losses with most problems caused at the transfer and lehr loader. With conventional transfers, wires are used to stablise containers during and after the transfer procedure, in to the lehr, containers are stacked too close together so as each row can rely on the previous row for stability. However, this causes bottle to bottle contact and reduces cold end spray coverage. This method has be reluctantly accepted by the industry, but with the FT-7000 production efficiencies can be increased by 50%. Using the unique design of the FT-7000 containers are presented at 45 degrees on to the Cross Conveyor. Increased spacing between container necks for optimum cold end spraying.
