Pack Expo - Shuttleworth's Booth at Pack Expo 2015 Is a One-Stop-Shop for State-of-the-Art Conveying Solutions
Shuttleworth engineered two comprehensive, modular active demonstrations that showcase a wide range of conveying solutions for every shape, size, and composition of products from cartons and cases to delicate baked goods (Shuttleworth Pack Expo Booth C-3623)
Huntington, Ind. September 18, 2015
The Shuttleworth servo loop demonstration incorporates fully automated in-feeding, vision-based rejection, combining, and dividing of products. Rejected products are routed out from the conveyor, looped around, and then automatically and seamlessly incorporated back into the flow via a fully integrated Modu conveyor. Shuttleworth will also display on the servo loop conveyor the new ProTech by Pro Mach™ remote monitoring and remote service technology being introduced at Pack Expo 2015.
For delicate products, such as baked goods conveying, Shuttleworth engineered the bakery loop. This loop integrates a stainless V-Clean Slip-Torque conveyor with a KLEENLine lane switch module. The lane switch is a stainless steel sanitary washdown construction plaque divider that diverts products from a single lane into two, three, or four lanes for routing to wrappers, case packers, cartoners, and palletizers. Designed and built at KLEENLine, a Pro Mach business, the lane switch integrates flawlessly with Shuttleworths stainless V-Clean Slip-Torque conveyor. This combo features gentle product transfers and no side contact, diverting at speeds ranging from 220 feet per minute (FPM) to 400 FPM.
In this loop demonstration a single lane of products is automatically separated into multiple lanes, then accumulated, and lastly formed back into a single lane before being separated again. The conveyor showcases a small footprint modular design. It also features a wide range of different rollers and roller surfaces - food grade, star roller for loose leaf paper, high heat urethane rollers, and more options that reveal the range of surfaces and applications available from Shuttleworth.
