The end user looked to Bastian Solutions, one of Alba's partners, to provide an automated solution to bring empty gaylords in from one end of the building, fill the gaylords with bottles, and transport them to the other end for removal by fork truck. After several meetings to survey the site, Bastian was able to provide a preliminary layout for review. The bottle producer liked the design and commissioned Bastian Solutions to execute the integration of conveyors (by Alba) and controls (by Bastian).
Alba provided three accumulation sections of CDLR feeding three parallel transfers which would position the box underneath the bottle dispensing areas in independent lanes. While the gaylords were being filled, empty gaylords would be waiting in queuing zones to take the place of the gaylords being filled once they were full. Filled gaylords of product would exit the fill conveyor zone and transfer to an outgoing parallel lane of accumulation conveyors. The gaylords would then be conveyed to the end of the line where they would be unloaded by fork trucks and transported to the warehouse side of the plant to prepare for shipment.
The overall Alba pallet conveyor along with Bastian’s controls helped improve the flow of finished goods and reduce fork truck traffic and activity.
