Streamline your production with Unitech De-Palletiser Tables
PROJECT To design, supply and install a leading aerosol manufacturer with two depalletiser tables to receive depalletized layers of empty deodorant cans and streamline them, positively and gently into a single file for discharge to a downstream process via a series of single file conveyors.
MATERIALS
• Predominantly 304 grade stainless steel
• Movex Series 150 modular belt with 8mm pitch
• Nylon guide rails- antistatic
• Klockner Moeller isolators
• Siemens 57- 1500 PLC
• Simatic HMI and inverters
• Pilz PNOZ safety circuitry
Unitech Engineering worked closely with their client to design and manufacture two bespoke de-palletiser tables. Our client requested from the start of the project that we adhere to their mechanical and electrical standards and specifications. This included us using their preferred suppliers for some of the components.
Each unit has a throughput of 350 cans per minute and was designed to handle 35-53mm cans of differing designs. Each table receives layers of cans 1200mm wide leading x 1000mm and is 5550mm in length and 1485mm wide.
Due to the bespoke nature of this project, numerous trials took place to ensure maximum efficiency with design amendments along the way and additional safety requirements requested by our client. One snagging point encountered was that the taller and slimmer of the cans occasionally fell due to their design. Unitech worked around this by designing removable centre rail arrangements which could be used when
