BBULL SINUS SORTER
Sorting and Distribution System for Crates, Cartons and Tray
GENERAL INTRODUCTION
The degree of automation in filling lines
has increased constantly in order to meet market requirements as the pressure
on costs and quality awareness have risen.
These growing demands have also changed user´s expectations in respect
of the dry section.
In addition to straightforward crate inspection, discharge and distribution
of the containers poses the greatest challenge for the sorting system. The
filling operation requires a low-wear sorting system with high efficiency.
PRINCIPLE
OF OPERATION
The
BBULL SINUS SORTER system operates above the conveyor level and ensures
a smooth transfer of full and empty containers. The containers are preferably
transferred on existing slatband chain conveyors. They can be transferred to
conveyors running in parallel as well as to conveyors running at right angles.
The container to be discharged is accelerated under proportional control in
the function sequence. A constant and precisely adjustable transfer distance
can be obtained for full and empty containers, since the transfer energy is
spread over a longer period of time and the acceleration is controlled.
System malfunctions due to contamination of any kind is largely excluded since
the system is installed above the conveyor level. The technical system is readily
accessible for maintenance and repair work and has already proved its value
in many applications as an exceedingly wear-resistant system with high functional
stability.
Upon completion of the transfer movement, the transfer plate is raised
pneumatically, thus clearing the way for the next container to enter the function
area. This eliminates the need for excessively large gaps between the containers
in the sorting area.
APPLICATION
Smooth
transfer is a characteristic feature of the BBULL SINUS SORTER system.
The system operates reliably in combination with crates, cartons, trays and
six-packs. SINUS SORTER technology has already proved its value in numerous
applications with high performance and high belt speeds.
The system is used in combination with crate identification and uniform distribution
of the containers.
It is also used for extremely compact multi-line distribution.
