INFORMATION AS SUPPLIED BY THE MANUFACTURERS OF THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES FEATURED
Palletising flexibility
LOGOPAK has supplied PepsiCo's Cork,
Ireland, plant with two Logopak 804T
labellers to identify pallets of soft drink
concentrate as they are loaded by robot.
This provides production flexibility by
allowing the pallets from different
production lines and with different
products to be directed to different
shrink-wrapping and transit labelling
lines and caters also for downtime
during maintenance or repair.
The machines operate within the
safety cage of the robot palletisers and

attach pre-printed bar code labels to the
base of the pallets, using a purposebuilt
applicator that folds the label
round the two outer faces of a corner
block. Logopak also designed the
labelling material specifically for the
purpose.

incorporates an array of i-Tech intelligent
Technology features, that completely
eliminates the need for planned servicing –
an industry first. Instead of traditional
preventative maintenance activities ‘plug
and play’ routine consumables
replenishment undertaken by production
staff is all that is needed, typically
resulting in less than ten minutes of
service downtime per year.
BULK solids handling specialist,
Flexicon (Europe) Ltd has announced
an all-new TIP-TITE Drum Dump
Feeder which discharges bulk material
from drums and feeds it volumetrically
to downstream equipment.
The drum platform is raised by a
single hydraulic cylinder, creating a
dust-tight seal between the rim of a
drum and the underside of the
discharge cone. A second hydraulic
cylinder tips the platform-hood
assembly and drum, stopping at dump
angles of up to 90º with a motiondampening
feature. Material flowing
through the discharge cone charges the
intake adapter of a cantilevered flexible
screw conveyor available in custom
lengths, oriented horizontally (shown),
or at an incline, for the purpose of
elevating, as well as metering, the
material.
