Creates space and raises safety levels
April 1st 2008

An overhead conveyor system has created extra floor space and solved the problem of forklifts encroaching on people traffic for Florette, producer of ready-to-eat bagged salads and vegetables.

The 250m long cable conveyor was supplied and installed by OCA, France in conjunction with Rusmail Conveyor Systems of Birmingham. The system was designed to free up work space by carrying away storage crates and eliminate the need for pallets in the production area.

Anthony Fremond, project engineer for Florette said: "The production line is now free flowing and safe for workers because we don't need to send in the forklifts to remove empty pallets from around the work stations. Also, crates are not being left in the area to cause a tripping hazard."
