Construction & Building Supplies

Customer

A multi-billion-dollar international company located in the southeastern region of the USA.

Problem

Production levels were unable to keep pace with the high product demand, even when the industry was operating 24/7 during the peak season. The company’s required ROI was calculated to hit a cycle time of 28 units per minute.

Solution

Power Pack’s engineers worked hand-in-hand with corporation representatives in order to construct a system that would speed up production and fully meet the desired cycle time.

System

At the beginning of the production line, a bag was filled with construction materials and sealed. It was then transported from a flat wire mesh belt conveyor to a slip top belt conveyor that rotated the product 90 degrees. From there, the bag traveled through a pneumatic flattener and down a chain-driven live roller conveyor onto a pick conveyor. Meanwhile, a pneumatically-operated de-stacker dispensed a pallet onto another chain-driven live roller conveyor, where a robotic arm lifted and loaded the bagged product onto the pallet. Once the pallet was completely stacked with the correct number of bags, the same chain-driven live roller conveyor transported the full skid to the shrink wrap area.
