Successful Cooling Solution For A UK Beverage Closure Company
UPM Conveyors , manufacturer of high quality conveyor systems , recently designed a stainless steel system to improve efficiency at a UK beverage closure company . The bespoke system solved manufacturing issues that were resulting in ovality due to a high closure temperature above 45-degrees Celsius , a high level of static and a high reject rate . UPM ’ s specialists created the bespoke conveyor design , presented it to the company , manufactured and then installed and tested it on the premises , including a static eliminator and a bespoke control system . The closure temperature was reduced to ~ 30-degree Celsius and the company now benefits from stainless steel conveyor sides , a mobile support frame and PET-G dust covers . Staff can use the bespoke control system via a touch screen HMI to operate variable speed adjustments , to continuously monitor the temperature of the cooling system , and much more .
