Fully Automated Milk Container Handling

We developed a completely hands-free system and negated the need for driving pallets around by truck at this facility. Plastic milk containers of varying sizes are blow moulded before our conveyors move bottles through leak detection and vision inspection processes. The bottles are then conveyed upstairs to a second storey packaging facility, where bottles are bagged in hygienically sealed pallet size bags using fully automatic bagging machines. The bags are then sent down a half mile trunk line of roller conveyor to the fillers in the dairy. However, bags will pass by robot stackers, which using bar-code scanning, will pick and and place on to trolleys for storage, products not needed immediately in the dairy.
