A leading soup canning facility asked Can Lines Engineering for an advanced system to remove freshly retorted cans from their retort baskets onto a labeling/case packing line. CLE partnered with Festo to develop a solution that utilizes a magnetic-head carriage. It replaces a sweep method that relied on chains and cross bars to unload baskets. The new approach greatly reduces the number of moving parts, which leads to faster installation and more trouble-free operation. The system is much gentler, as the magnet picks the cans from the top. That reduces can damage and brings a much faster transfer.
