Packaging line for door jambs
Goals
1. Streamline packing operations. Since the products are long, narrow in shape and heavy, packing operations required two operators. Two operators are needed to form the box in lenght and due to its heavy weight the products cannot be handled by one person only.
2. As a result there was also a need to increase output.
3. Optimize packaging sizes.
Solution
1. to lift the profiles to a suitable height so that they can easily be put into the box by the operator a tilted belt was provided. Thanks to a box forming tool, this step can now also be handled by a single operator.
2. by implementing Automation, the customer was able to increase throughput from 1 piece per minute to 4 pieces per minute, and therefore one operator was allocated to other departments to increase efficiency.
