[Case Study] Sausage Packing and Packaging Line
A case where we utilized our automation know-how and expertise to achieve labor reduction and the resulting improvement in productivity!
We would like to introduce a case in which we received an inquiry from a customer manufacturing sausages regarding the introduction of a new packing and packaging line. In this company, sausages are packaged in sets of four, and it is necessary to box them together. However, due to the characteristics of the sausages, aligning and accumulating them is difficult. They requested a solution to this challenge to achieve labor savings. We proposed a system where sausages are manually fed onto a conveyor at arbitrary timings, transported to a horizontal conveyor, accumulated on the horizontal conveyor, and then collected into sets of four using a star wheel, thereby achieving stable operation. 【Case Overview】 ■Challenges - There were limitations on the effective space available for constructing an automated line in the area where the existing line was installed. By installing a new line in that space, we aimed to improve space productivity. ■Proposal and Implementation Details - Since it was necessary to construct a new line in the existing line's installation space, we designed the supply line to the cartoner in an L-shape to fit within the effective space. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
