Slides give milk a flow

摘要

HepcoMotion has worked on a milk bottle trolley unit. Mechelec Automation has developed a new trolley collation and packing system for the dairy industry with the help of slides supplied by HepcoMotion. The TP1002 trolley packer is designed to provide fully automated, cost-effective trolley loading at faster operating speeds than current systems. The slides are required to provide the movement of the milk bottles within the new trolley packaging machine. One of the key reasons why HepcoMotion was specified for this application was the high demands the dairy industry puts on its components to maintain machine up-time. For instance, when a Hepco V guide system shows sign of wear, the eccentric adjustment facility of the V bearings can be used to quickly and simply remove any play that has occurred. When the V bearings reach the end of their life, they can be replaced individually, and not as an entire set, saving both time and money.
