Conveyors are what turn a set of machines into a line. We supply air conveyors, slat and table-top chain conveyors, unscramblers, accumulation tables and inspection stations, laid out around the building and bottle flow you actually have.
Conveying is what turns a group of machines into one line, and the design follows two questions: how heavy is the load, and how many changes of direction are there. Air conveyors are the usual choice for empty bottles at high speed, slat chain for full, heavy bottles on straight runs, and table-top chain for small bottles through curves and transfers. Transfers between machines need accumulation to absorb differences in speed, and the amount of accumulation you build in decides whether one machine stopping halts the whole line or only its own section.
On most lines the stoppages are not in the filler at all — they are in the small parts: star wheels, guide rails, changeover parts, cap chutes and the transfer points between conveyors. It is worth agreeing which material those parts are made from and how many changeover sets come with the line, especially if you run more than one bottle format. Stainless steel grade, washdown capability and the PLC logic that links the machines together — interlocks, fault indication, bottle tracking and a readable HMI — are what make a line operable by your own staff after the commissioning engineers have gone home.
