The company works to customer specifications, both in terms of sheet composition and roll size. This results in a wide range of roll types and weights, which are shipped on various pallets.<\/p>\n<p>Cobelplast asked Ceratec <strong>to develop and build an automatic multifunctional packaging line.<\/strong> The machine is 43m long.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The first part of<\/strong> the packaging machine is <strong>the most innovative element<\/strong>, and<strong> had to be custom-built<\/strong> by Ceratec. It measures the weighing, strapping, individual packaging and labeling of rolls, as well as the placement of one or more rolls on the pallet.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On the left-hand side of the installation, the rollers are placed on a table by an operator with a forklift truck.<\/li>\n<li>Once the operator has left the pallet truck area, the wrapping stage begins by picking up a roll by the &#8216;first grapple&#8217; and transporting it to a calibrated &#8216;weighing cell&#8217;.<\/li>\n<li>After being weighed, the roll is placed on the &#8216;strapping shuttle&#8217;. This moves perpendicularly to the direction taken by the gripper in the &#8216;strapping roller&#8217; system.<\/li>\n<li>After strapping the rollers, the &#8216;strapping shuttle&#8217; moves back in the direction of the &#8216;feed grapple&#8217;.<\/li>\n<li>The &#8216;infeed grapple&#8217; moves the roll to the &#8216;roll-winding shuttle&#8217;.<\/li>\n<li>The robot applies a silica gel sachet to the coil core, places the protective caps over the open center space and applies a label to the unwrapped coil. The &#8216;coil-winding shuttle&#8217; also moves the coil perpendicularly in the direction of travel of the &#8216;grapple&#8217; in the &#8216;coil-winder&#8217;.<\/li>\n<li>After wrapping the roll in film, the &#8216;roll-winding shuttle&#8217; moves back in the direction of the &#8216;discharge grapple&#8217;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The second part of<\/strong> the machine secures the rolls to the pallet by wrapping the roll and pallet with shrink-wrap film, after which the pallet is labeled with a transport label, and possibly a second, customer-specific label. This is <strong>a more conventional packaging line.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The &#8216;discharge grapple&#8217; places the rolls on the &#8216;tipper&#8217; for palletizing. Depending on how the customer wishes to palletize, the pallet is placed horizontally or vertically behind the tipper. There are 3 depositing positions.<\/li>\n<li>Placement of the right pallet in the right position is carried out by the head operator. He receives instructions from the central control panel.<\/li>\n<li>When a pallet is complete, it moves via the roller conveyor to the &#8216;centering roller conveyor&#8217;, after which the rolls are strapped in the strapping machine.<\/li>\n<li>At the next stop, the pallet is wrapped in the pallet winding machine.<\/li>\n<li>Before entering the warehouse, a second robot applies a label to the finished pallet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"template":"","pays":[532],"solutions":[823,732],"secteurs":[699],"clients":[406],"business-unit":[537],"class_list":["post-8385","reference","type-reference","status-publish","hentry","pays-belgium","solutions-end-of-line-solutions","solutions-product-transport","secteurs-petrochemical","clients-cobelpast","business-unit-intralogistics-solutions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceratec.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reference\/8385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceratec.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reference"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceratec.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reference"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceratec.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"pays","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ceratec.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pays?post=8385"},{"taxonomy":"solutions","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ceratec.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/solutions?post=8385"},{"taxonomy":"secteurs","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ceratec.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/secteurs?post=8385"},{"taxonomy":"clients","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ceratec.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/clients?post=8385"},{"taxonomy":"business-unit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ceratec.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/business-unit?post=8385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
