Our solutions for materials handling technology in the beverage industry

The basis for a smooth material flow

The materials handling technology connects the individual machines in the beverage industry. It transports individual containers, packaging units or entire pallets through the plant – whether on long tracks, in curves or via inclines to a second level.

The spatial conditions often require flexibility in the system design in order to fulfil the diverse requirements and individual needs. All the better if there is an integrated solution with reliable and energy-efficient drives. The digital networking of our drive components also enables the system status to be monitored at all times.

Key goals

Reducing CO2

In view of climate change, it is more important than ever that companies reduce their direct and indirect emissions in all areas. Energy-efficient drives are an essential component for greater sustainability.

Performance

High-performance filling is only really effective if the bottle or can is then transported quickly and smoothly via secondary packaging to palletising.

System availability

Condition monitoring gives you transparency not only about the state of the drive system, but also about your entire system. This allows for predictions of critical changes in condition, which enables predictive and demand-oriented maintenance.

Hygiene

High hygiene standards require regular cleaning and drives that meet these requirements. Special options for wet areas, such as a hygienic design with smooth surfaces without interfering contours, are perfect for clean-in-place (CIP).

Our solutions

Beverage industry – Materials handling technology numbered

Container transport

Container transport is responsible for transferring containers between beverage filling machines, and is therefore the element of transport technology that connects every part of the production side. The conveyor line consists of various elements, such as the slat-band chain conveyor, pressureless accumulation, mass transport and the buffer track.



Your requirements

  • Precise control of the containers for careful transportation
  • Lower energy requirements
  • Drive solution for challenging ambient conditions such as wet areas
  • Fast installation and startup

Packaging unit transport

Packaging unit transport is responsible for transporting, positioning, distributing and turning packaging units in the filling system. Various elements are involved in the conveyor line: link-chain conveyors, roller conveyors, distribution stations and turning stations before palletization.



Your requirements

  • High control quality for fast, dynamic speed control
  • Low noise emission levels
  • Lower energy requirements
  • Simple cleaning

Pallet transport

During pallet transport, pallets of packaging units are transported from empties receiving to filled goods dispatch. The conveyor line consists of various elements, including the roller conveyor or chain conveyor, the corner transfer unit for changing direction and the pallet loading and offtake station.

Your requirements

  • Control of high breakaway torques in heavy-load transportation
  • Sturdy technology due to tough ambient conditions
  • Lower energy requirements
  • Positioning during lifting and placing of packaging units
