Overhead solution for salad producer
May 1st 2008 An overhead conveyor
system installed for Florette
has created extra floor
space and solved the
problem of forklifts
encroaching on people
traffic.
The 250m long cable
conveyor was supplied and
installed by OCA, France in
conjunction with Rusmail
Conveyor Systems. The
system was designed to
free the operators' work
space by carrying away
storage crates and
eliminating the need for
pallets in the production
area.
Anthony Fremond,
project engineer for
Florette, producer of more
than 100 varieties of readyto-
eat, bagged salads and
vegetables, comments "The
production line is now free
flowing and safe for workers
because we don't need to
send in the forklifts to
remove empty pallets from
around the work stations.
Also, crates are not being
left in the area to cause a
tripping hazard." More articles from Rusmail Conveyor Systems Ltd: |
