New air conveyor line

New line of air conveyor for bottles at Pacific Drinks in Tahiti

Client : Pacific Drinks
Services : Line engineering
Air Conveyor
Time limit : 4 months

State of play

  • Manual arrangement of cylinders on the bottling line
  • Workshop congestion and significant ergonomic problems

Objectives

  • Automate blower / filler connection
  • Facilitating the movement of forklifts

Our client, concerned about the quality and welfare of its employees, sought to integrate its blower 1BLOW its air conveyor in a filling unit CIMEC. However, the major challenge was the need to maintain a fluid circulation between these machines despite a distance of a few meters.

In the face of this situation, sending a technician to perform a field survey in Tahiti proved uneconomic. This is why, in collaboration with a local architectural firm, we opted for an innovative approach : a 3D scan of the building was carried out and then sent to ACCS Packaging for a 3D treatment. This approach allowed us to design a compact and ergonomic solution who fully satisfied our client.

The route of the air conveyor was thoroughly validated with a 3D simulation on SolidWorks. After design, the equipment was shipped by sea to Tahiti. To guarantee the necessary versatility to our customer, we recommended the use of our UBIC guidance system, thus enabling processing all existing and future formats without mechanical modifications.

In an effort to minimize travel costs, we sent a small team to the site: a mechanical conductor, assisted by a local team, managed to mount the new air conveyor line in just three weeks. At the same time, an automatic operator took over the implementation of the programme and operator interface in just over a week, taking the time to anticipate and solve all possible scenarios.
