Conveyor Network
If the desire is to fully eliminate the use of manual trolleys, we can provide Interconnection Conveyors to transport baskets and accurately interface with the Retort Delivery System and Loader/Unloader.
Conveyor Network Features
- Loading BufferThis conveyor acts as a storage point for full baskets “Staged” for shuttle for transport to the sterilizer
- Unload BufferProvides storage of sterilized baskets awaiting unloading
- Empty Basket Return (between loader and unloader)Shuttles “empty baskets” from the unloader to the loader
- Suspect Product BufferProvides a location for the Micro-Shuttle to place baskets in the event of a process deviation. This conveyor has fork truck accessibility for basket removal. Prevents product comingling
Additional Products
This platform is executed in a two or four basket/cube configuration. The shuttle system is an X, Y application guided by rails bolted to the floor. The rails are fully adjustable and can be positioned to match the elevation of the retort and adapt to irregular floor elevations.
Provided are two modules, one for loading and the second for unloading.
The STOCK Gantry Style Pick and Place Loader/Unloader reduces the labor-intensive tasks of stacking and unstacking heavy trays to and from the retorts.
To be absolutely sure each basket of product went through the retort cycle, basket tracking is available.
