The Challenge
Lantmännen Unibake UK needed to replace an ageing spiral conveyor which was used to cool their freshly baked products with the additional aims of reducing the number of transfers, increasing production throughput and freeing up valuable floor space.
OUR APPROACH
L-A-C Logistics Automation visited the site to make an initial survey and assessment of the project requirements. A number of potential solutions were drafted and then modelled in 3D Autocad for presentation to Lantmännen Unibake UK who then commissioned a new concept stainless steel spiral conveyor to replace the ageing system.
L-A-C Logistics Automation used belt supplier Intralox’s unique i-Drive system for the belt solution with an overall continuous run of 575m utilised in (L-A-C Logistics Automation are the only licenced agent in the UK for this product) which was installed in the innovative 17 tiered stainless steel conveyor. There are 2 entry floors in the conveyor which has helped greatly improve operatives and engineers access to products and for maintenance purposes.
