20 MACHINERY UPDATE JULY/AUGUST 2018 www.machineryupdate.co.uk New Machinery Latest sealer helps meet energy efficiency goals In a direct bid to offer customers greater energy efficiency, Endoline Machinery has re-engineered one of its random case sealers with a linear actuator system to reduce air consumption and ultimately reduce running costs while cutting carbon footprint and noise emissions. The company has replaced pneumatic components on its 734 high speed random case sealer with servo driven linear actuators to reduce pneumatic supply demands. “In its old format, the 734 could consume up to 390 litres of air per minute,” explains Keith Habben, engineering manager at Endoline Machinery. “When the system was first launched in 2003, it was commonly installed as a stand-alone machine,” he continues. “However, with manufacturers now integrating other systems to create fully turnkey lines, the requirements for overall air consumption can significantly increase and consequently, air In developing its automatic filling system RobaFeed 3 with granulate container GlueFill, Robatech has ensured that along with increased line efficiencies and cost savings, operators are also protected from possible dangers, such as burns, during the filling of the hot melt systems. Robatech says it is committed to establishing a protected and safe work environment for operating personnel of adhesive application solutions and The upgraded 734 sealer cuts air consumption and reduces noise emissions supply and noise levels will also rise.” Commonly driven by motors, pneumatic compressors need to run continually, consuming energy and air even when the machine is stationery. When additional machinery is added to the line, also requiring air, the pressure fluctuations can also have a detrimental effect on the reliability and efficiency of the whole production line. By replacing the core Employee safety has been designed-in to hot melt adhesive systems for benefits all round thus to saving costs in this area for a company. Filling a hot melt adhesive system involves a certain risk, as the tank systems can reach temperatures of up to 200deg C. When opening the tank for filling, there is a risk of burns due to adhesive splashing or contact with already melted adhesive but, says Robatech, risks can be avoided with its automatic filling system.

Installed within almost 100 factories globally, the high speed, fully automatic, 734 sealer can seal up to 20 random cases per minute. All of these 734 models can be upgraded to this new system. T 01767 316422 W www.endoline-automation.com Filling systems can avoid accidents A laser safety curtain is offered Bulk bag conditioner is safer A new Block-Buster bulk bag conditioner from Flexicon features a laser safety curtain that automatically stops the system’s hydraulic rams, scissor lift and turntable if the laser beam is obstructed, eliminating the need for safety-hinged doors and interlock switches for operator safety. The conditioner loosens densely packed bulk solid materials in bulk bags by means of hydraulic rams with specially contoured end plates that press and release opposing sides of the bag. A hydraulically-actuated, variable-height scissor lift with accordion style dust skirt and turntable allows conditioning of the bag on all sides at all heights. The number and pressure of hydraulic ram actuations, the height of the turntable, and the number of 90-degree rotations are user adjustable. The system controller and hydraulic pump can be mounted on the exterior of the frame or remotely. The new conditioner is intended for bulk bags containing hygroscopic chemicals, certain types of spice blends, heatsensitive products, and other materials prone to solidifying to the point at which pneumaticallyactuated flow promotion accessories integral to bulk bag dischargers are inefficient or completely ineffective. It is available as a stand-alone unit or an integral component of a bulk bag discharger. T 01227 374710 W www.flexicon.co.uk
