Plastic Bottle Handling Rotary Table Operation
We supplied a 1500mm dia Rotary Table complete with integral fixed load shelf designed to receive one pallet load at a time using a manual pusher arrangement.
The operator must ensure bottles are introduced to the rotary table two pallet loads at a time. It is was supplied with fixed guiding to direct bottles at an exit point onto a conveyor via a tangential side transfer onto a conveyor already on site.
Allowance had to be made for a tangential dead plate transfer from the rotary table onto the other conveyor.

Modular Belt Conveyor Operation
C-Trak supplied a Modular Belt Conveyor 300mm wide x 660mm horizontal x 90 degree bend x 2250mm inclined at an angle of 22 degrees x 2500mm horizontal.
The belt had integral rubber inserts to grip the box and there are fixed guides throughout.
The height at infeed is 670mm and relative discharge 1500mm. The belt feeds onto a declined gravity conveyor 1800mm long which passes through a wall.
It was supplied with end stop terminating at a local specific height of 750mm.
A PEC sensor was mounted at the modular belt / gravity interface to stop the line if boxes that are not removed and if there is a back up.
