The request from the customer was to have an adapted solution for weighing, detecting, and labeling their range of sausages.
The Inliner creates order and structure in the production line by receiving grouped products and delivering them in uniform lines to downstream systems.
The customers products are in three different sizes. One of three products turns 90 degrees with help from two guide pins before delivering them in uniform lines. The other two products are delivered in uniform lines without turning. The guide pins can easily be moved from their position, over the conveyor belt.
In the next step, the products are detected and weighed individually, at the same time the weight is sent to the label printer. Products with weights outside accepted tolerances will not have a label applied. Instead, the product is sorted out into the second reject bin using a pneumatic pusher. The contaminated products are sorted out into the first reject bin using a pneumatic pusher.
