Greater efficiency comes on line
The Walsall Engineering Group has upgraded one of the prestige bottling lines for John Dewar & Sons in Glasgow, introducing a more up-to-date filling machine and a higher specification case sealer and resulting in record levels of output.

The line infeed was repositioned and simplified mechanically to create space for a larger filling machine. This allowed some existing bottle handling issues to be engineered out by changing guide rail profiles, slat chain conversion and fitting additional drive units.
A new control system and upgrades were completed to the empty bottle conveyors and filler, providing easy access for operatives to make adjustments to meet future changes and to meet current legislation.
Within days of starting production, record levels of output and efficiency on the line have been achieved and remain consistent, resulting in immediate payback.
