PROJECT BACKGROUND
The operating problem
The customer operates multiple production plants and needed to improve the efficiency of material transportation between different working levels.
Before automation, workers were required to manually handle plastic drums during the production process, which increased labor costs and limited production efficiency.
To evaluate the performance of an automatic vertical transport solution, the customer initially purchased one vertical conveyor system for testing. After actual operation, the customer confirmed that the equipment significantly reduced manual handling and improved production efficiency.
APPLICATION SOLUTION
How the system was configured
Based on the successful trial operation, the customer gradually expanded the application across different production areas.
The customized automatic vertical conveyor system was designed for transporting 50 kg plastic drums with stable and continuous operation.
The system provides:
Automatic vertical transportation between different production levels
Smooth handling of heavy drums without manual lifting
Easy integration with existing production lines
Reliable operation for continuous factory production
After application
After verifying the benefits of the first unit, the customer continued purchasing additional equipment.
The total number of installed vertical conveyors has now reached 9 sets, and the customer plans to upgrade all three factory plants with fully automated vertical transportation systems.
The system has achieved a stable conveying capacity of:
600 plastic drums per hour per set
