Controlled case flow
February 1st 2006

As a preferred supplier to foodservice distribution company, Pauleys, Conveyor Systems was contracted to modify two existing lines and provide a new materials handling system to coincide with the extension of an existing mezzanine floor.

The mezzanine extension allows a further 15 bays of carton live storage to be accommodated. CSL coordinated the project, designing and installing a system to provide a controlled flow of cardboard cases to support order picking through to palletising and dispatch.

An automatic case erector supplies cardboard boxes on demand. These are fed to an automated labelling station, which also acts as a picking, sheet, and on to an inclined belt conveyor leading to lineshaft powered roller conveyor to be transported along the face of the multitier carton live storage, stopping at destination pick zones.

CSL also designed and installed a waste removal belt conveyor above the racking.
