Handling system for the cold end

Shipping system of cold end serves to transport container glass from glass annealing lehr to control machines and further to palletiser. Part of hereof system is also cullet conveyers, carrying container glass eliminated by control engine into crusher and visual checkpoint.

Position 1 » Take-out Table
Takes glass containers from the annealing lehr.

Position 2 » Single-liner
Puts glass containers from a group on the take-out table into a single line. The Single-liner is equipped with a moving rail, which improves the efficiency of sorting, and protects against jams.

Position 3 » Distribution Table
Is used instead of the Single-liner and gives the option to distribute glass containers in one or two lines. (Two lines are required, for example, when the capacity of the inspection equipment is insufficient for a single line).

Position 4 » Reversing Table
Reverses the direction of movement of the glass containers (180°) enabling the cold end to be installed even in a confined space.

Position 5 » Curved Conveyor
This curved conveyor can replace position 2, 3 and 4. If no accumulation is required it can be installed between positions 6 and 7, or in another section according to the design of the cold end.

Position 6 » Conveyor & Accumulator
Conveys glassware to palletization with the ability to accumulate.

Position 7 » Conveyor
Transports glass containers through inspection to palletization.

Position 8 » Visual Inspection
Is usually placed before automatic inspection for visual pre-selection. Defective product is removed on the cullet conveyor (Pos.10).

Position 9 » Inspection Machines
Are installed beside the Conveyor (Position 7) or on a by-pass conveyor.

Position 10 » Cullet Conveyor
Transports defective products from the Visual Inspection (Pos.8) and Inspection Machines (Pos.9) to a crusher. An electric drum drives the plastic belt of this conveyor at constant speed.

Position 11 » Palletizer
Puts layers of finished glass containers on pallets.

Position 12 » Store of Empty Pallets
Feeds empty pallets to the Palletizer as required.

Position 13 » Collecting Shuttle
Transports loaded pallets from palletizers to the wrapping line.

Position 14 » Turn-Table
Turns full pallets and transfers them to the chain conveyor (Pos.15).

Position 15 and 16 » Chain or Roller Conveyor
Transfers full pallets to the wrapping line.

Position 17 » Wrapping Line
Assures wrapping of loaded pallets into thermo-shrinkable film.

Annotation

• Positions 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 use plastic guides to control the plate chains (width 4,5" or 7,5", i.e.114,3 or 190,3 mm). The chains are driven by an electric motor gearbox with step-less speed control in a range 5-25 m/min. Positions 1,2,3,4 and 6 provide the possibility of accumulation. Height of the top of plate chains is adjustable between 850-950 mm above the floor.
• Positions 14, 15 and 16 are equipped with either rollers or three chains spaced 350 mm apart. Gearboxes drive conveyors at a constant speed of 8 m/min with smooth start and stop.
