At Conveyors & Equipment, we specialize in providing innovative material handling solutions tailored to our clients’ unique challenges. One such project involved enhancing the shipping department at Innophos, a customer facing significant ergonomic issues and operational slowdowns.
The Challenge
Innophos needed a comprehensive solution to eliminate the ergonomic strain and inefficiencies in their shipping department. The goal was to design a system that would streamline their operations, reduce physical strain on their workers, and improve overall throughput.
The Solution: Integrated Equipment for Seamless Operation
Conveyors & Equipment designed and implemented a solution using equipment from several manufacturers, all meticulously selected to work together seamlessly. The key components included:
- Tawi Vacuum System: This system allowed operators to handle 50 lbs. cases effortlessly, significantly reducing the need for bending, lifting, and carrying.
- Southworth Manual Rotating Lifts: These lifts provided flexibility and easy access for handling cases, enabling smoother transitions between stages.
- Southworth Powered Turntable and Lift: Equipped with a pallet conveyor mounted on top, this system streamlined the movement to the palletizing stage.
- Lantech Rotating, Conveying Stretch Wrapper: This equipment ensured that pallets were securely wrapped, ready for shipment.
- ACSI Accumulating Pallet Conveyors: These conveyors facilitated the efficient movement of pallets through the line, reducing bottlenecks and enhancing the flow.
Project Execution
The project showcased Conveyors & Equipment’s ability to design and integrate various pieces of equipment into a single, cohesive line. By combining these technologies, we provided Innophos with a solution that addressed their ergonomic concerns while simultaneously boosting their operational efficiency.
The Outcome
The integrated system resulted in a significant improvement in Innophos’s shipping operations. Operators could handle cases more safely and efficiently, and the streamlined process eliminated bottlenecks, allowing for faster and more effective palletizing and shipping.
