Premier合同饮料生产商/打包机,城市酿造公司LLC在La Crosse,Wi,Latrobe,PA和孟菲斯,TN运营设施。这些设施,所有能够生产和包装啤酒,麦芽饮料,茶和能量饮料,可以在各种瓶子和尺寸和包装配置中,每年都有一个组合的能力,每年有超过130万份饮料。

The contract beverage packer wanted to take advantage of growing consumer demand for variety packs by using high-speed automation technology to increase variety can packing efficiencies. The ambitious project created an entirely new can cartoning and casing line at the Memphis plant.
评估可用纸饰选项后,城市酿造安装了QuickFlex®2100饮料折叠纸箱机Graphic Packaging International, Inc.在它的孟菲斯植物。Quickflex设计用于适应多直径/多高罐,以较低的速度转换和高速包装。这两家公司密切合作,实现快速灵活的系统,以满足城市酿造的多样化客户要求。

城市酿造业务发展州的Ross Sannes说:“我们在2017年1月开始安装,并于2017年5月前往.GPI技术人员是安装,培训和启动的所有阶段的现场,他们仍然是我们介绍的任何新包的第一次运行。“

Step-by-step efficiency
Sannes描述了完整的次级6站Repack行操作(请参阅此处显示的视频)如下:
• Line is manually fed corrugated trays each holding 24 cans of a single flavor; this is the only part of the line that is not automated
•罐中的罐头上的收缩膜由罐头上的运营商移除,他们将这些材料饲料到架空AIR SHARK™AS-30捕获分离器中AES.连接到AES Balemaster 20 HP Tefc Baller。
•然后瓦楞纸盘在六个车道上索引到一个Wepackit Machinery350DC解析系统。六个真空头从托盘上取下罐,并将它们放在垫子上的输送系统上arrowhead systems,Inc。that channels the cans into single-file flavors.
•清空托盘停留在箭头旁路输送机上,将它们路由到重新填充轿厢站,在那里将再次填充它们,这次使用纸板纸盒,每个纸板夹每个都持有多种味道。
•单档罐员送入GPI 2100 G3多包装机线路,线速度为1440康米克,浪涌速度为1728 CPM。
•CANS将13个配置中的13个配置中的一个,通过GPI提供和印刷最多8种颜色的纤维板中的1至六种口味。GPI提供RotoGravure,偏移和柔版打印选项。
•多包,然后通过GPI Turner / D分频器来定位它们以进行重新壳体。
•纸箱和托盘由laser-coding该产品equipment fromDomino
•然后多包装纸箱用6个真空头部路由到Wepackit 350CP,以将纸箱抬回到所提供的索引瓦楞托盘中韦斯特桥and一般纸业产品,Inc。
•密封案例然后前进到alvey.码垛机和拉伸包装系统Sigma Supply

最佳结果
孟菲斯品种包线目前具有包装12-OZ和16盎司,标准罐,5.5盎司,7.5盎司,8盎司,8.4盎司,10.5盎司和12盎司时尚专业的能力罐头,线路将一系列格式从4包到30包中输出到一到六种风味的品种包装。城市酿造据估计,孟菲斯设施的现有5000万个案例,每年增加950万个案例。
Sannes says, “Historically, variety pack operations have been done by hand. A good manual operation can run 3,000-4,000 cases per day. We expect to run on average 40,000 cases per day. We now can offer our contract customers the flexibility to run 13 different pack types and 7 different can sizes at high speeds. And our ability to quickly convert pack configurations allows our customers to more easily manage sales spikes and product inventories. The Memphis Variety Pack line is the fastest and most automated line we could design, while still optimizing flexibility of finished packs.”
