Client Overview

Our client, a leading company in the soft drinks sector, required an innovative solution to enhance their production process. The goal was to efficiently invert bottles to coat the underside of caps with juice while ensuring seamless integration into their existing production line.

Project Overview

Asmech Systems Ltd was engaged to deliver a comprehensive system upgrade, including the design, manufacture, and installation of a side-gripping loop inverter and integration of the associated conveyor lines. This project exemplifies our expertise in creating bespoke engineering solutions tailored to the unique needs of our clients.

Challenges

  1. Inversion of Bottles: The client needed a reliable solution to invert bottles during production to coat the underside of the caps effectively.
  2. Seamless Integration: The system had to be integrated into an existing production line without causing significant downtime or disruption.
  3. Customised Conveyors: The conveyors required modifications to ensure optimal functionality with the new loop inverter.
  4. Control System Upgrades: The system required an additional electrical panel to interface with the client’s existing control and line philosophy.

Our Solution

1. Side-Gripping Loop Inverter

The Asmech team designed and installed a side-gripping loop inverter, a cutting-edge solution for inverting bottles with precision. This innovative component ensures the underside of each cap is thoroughly coated with juice, enhancing the client’s product quality.

2. Conveyor Line Modifications

  • Infeed System: Asmech designed and implemented a new slat conveyor drive infeed to feed bottles into the loop inverter seamlessly.
  • Outfeed System: A modular conveyor outfeed was developed to ensure bottles exit the inverter smoothly and transition efficiently to the next production stage.

3. Control Panel Integration

To support the new system, we provided a bespoke control panel. This upgrade offers robust and reliable management of the integrated loop inverter, ensuring seamless operation and easy system monitoring.

 

Outcome

The upgraded system delivered the following benefits:

  • Enhanced Efficiency: Bottles are inverted and coated with precision, improving product quality.
  • Seamless Integration: The new system fits perfectly into the existing production line, minimizing downtime during installation.
  • Increased Reliability: The custom conveyors and control panel provide consistent and dependable performance.
  • Future-Proofing: The modular design of the conveyor system allows for easy expansion and maintenance.
