Bottle conveyor

Bottle Conveyor

VLT® drives provide optimum speed regulation between all process stations and meet different torque requirements. Wide conveyors require low speeds and higher torques where narrow conveyors require high speeds and lower torques. Single bottle/item conveyors require high speeds and high torques for quick starts. Single bottle lines are designed to feed bottle washers, bottle sorters, decappers, fillers, cappers, labellers and general control checks.
Reduced bottlenecks
Bottle inspectors require vision systems, sensors and an intelligent free programmable drive.
Bottles are rejected when they contain foreign objects or are over and under filled, when plastic is deformed, etc. The sensor will give input to the VLT® drive to count the number of bottles processed during a set timeframe. If the number of bottles is less than is required for the next station, the inspection system is accelerated to meet the demand. The opposite occurs when the count gets too high to reduce bottlenecks in the conveyor and “Qing” systems.

Fewer encoders
New VLT® drives provide open-loop positioning with high accuracy and minimum installation cost, so that encoders and encoder cables can often be omitted.

Less downtime
Adjustable ramps ensure that bottles don't fall over during starts and stops. Positioning functions ensure that bottles are placed correctly in an inspection situation - regardless of production speed.

Less noise - less waste
Synchronization features adjust conveyor speeds according to the overall production to prevent congestions, broken bottles, noise and energy waste.
