Powered Conveyor System for Tray Pack. Short Term Project No. 1

Abstract

In the plants of current Tray Pack producers, one operation that paces the rate of production is filling. If the ingredients include a low viscosity (liquid), movement of the filled can to the lidding position results in sloshing and product spilling onto the sealing surfaces. If the ingredients are of high viscosity (solid) they mound in the can and the lid will either slide material out of the container or non-uniformly flatten the mound contaminating the seam surfaces. Various reports indicate the need to have a powered conveyor with appropriate control feature to integrate the filling, lidding, and sealing operations.
