17 April 2008 10:38
Intralox will present proven solutions for a variety of packaging and case handling applications in booth #1706 at Expo Pack 2008, June 24-27, in Mexico City, Mexico. Since Intralox opened a new, Mexican entity in 2007, customers have found it easier than ever to do business with Intralox, receiving direct delivery of all in-stock materials within two weeks' time.
At Expo Pack, Intralox will feature its new Activated Roller Belt™ (ARB) technology, which has proven to increase throughput, reduce line jams, and significantly reduce maintenance and downtime in case handling applications.
Employing a smart, automated method for directing the movement of conveyed articles, ARB offers greater flexibility, reliability, and safety, along with other operational advantages, including:
- Singulation – Simple, low-cost solution with a small footprint reduces labor needs and increases sorter throughput
- Depalletizing/Descrambling – Compact, effective solution offers a small footprint and dramatic savings
- Switching – Unique, patented ARB™ technology offers even greater flexibility to accommodate a larger variety of case and packages
Another booth focus will be Intralox's EZ Roller Retrofit™ system. Using this quick and cost-effective system to retrofit metal rollers with Intralox belting takes about 50% less time than installing a new conveyor and reduces conveyor ownership costs by as much as 85%.
Intralox-equipped conveyors (both retrofitted and new) help manufacturers around the world reach their operational goals:
- Easily convey new packaging styles and smaller packs
- Eliminate problematic dead zones
- Maintain even product flow
- Adjust to higher line speeds
- Eliminate downtime risks
- Reduce maintenance to near-zero levels
