A special guide plate to resolve product tipping troubles! Selected materials known for their slip resistance and durability.
This is a case study of solving customer issues in the pet bottle transportation process at a beverage company. In recent years, the company has been facing problems with the increasingly complex and diverse shapes of bottles, which tend to get caught on the conveyor's guide plates and fall over. To address this, we obtained information that applying a V-groove processing to the surface of the guide would reduce the contact area and resolve similar troubles, and we proposed this solution to the customer. As a result, instead of a temporary measure like applying slip-resistant tape, a permanent solution was achieved. [Key Points] - Multiple types were prototyped to find the optimal depth and pitch for the V-groove. - CAD drawings were submitted to facilitate easy ordering upon formal adoption. - The guide was manufactured at a length of 2 meters, considering the constraints of the processing machine and handling during installation. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

basic information
【Issues】 ■ We do not want to reduce the speed of the conveyor. ■ We have switched from stainless steel to ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene with enhanced slip properties, but bottle tipping troubles still occur. ■ The design of PET bottles has diversified, resulting in shapes with poor weight balance. ■ Applying fluororesin tape or slip-resistant mats can temporarily resolve the issue, but they wear out quickly. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
