Automatic box supply
As a leading packager of consumer potatoes for Belgian wholesale distribution, all the internal 'potato transport' in boxes via automatic transport. An expansionwas recently added: incoming potatoes in boxes are immediately placed 2 high by lorries and atuomatically bufferd. In accordance with the production planning, the right buffer is the unstacked and transported to the box tippers. Finally, the empty boxes are stacked 6 high and automatically bufferd on roller conveyors, awaiting transport to the supplier. Each box in the company can be followed by visualising it on a Scada system. This expansion fits in the corporate vision of using fork-lift trucks as little as possible and guaranteeing maximum traceability.
