Honeytop Speciality Foods,
manufacturer of various
flatbreads asked Astec
Conveyors to design and manufacture
a conveying system to integrate
packaging equipment, taking
discharged product from flow
wrappers in the production hall to
the warehouse.

The four flow wrapping machines
were in a restricted passageway
between two parallel RG Luma
Automation lines picking and
stacking crumpets prior to wrapping.

Astec overcame integration
difficulties by having the outer
machine guarding on the robot line
modified to create a passage through
for transporting product away.

A bespoke stainless steel conveying
system and controls were designed
in-house and automatically allow
conveyor speeds to change to suit
production. Discharged wrapped
product passes down a chute,
through the machine, along a series
of low and overhead food quality
modular plastic belt and slat bends
to the warehouse, checkweighed and
hand palletised.

The project was completed on
time and to budget.
