PACKAGING AND PALLETIZING SYSTEMS
RHONE-POULENC - CENTRAL PACKAGING
Our engineering group provided structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering services in preparing the design for a centralized packaging system for the Nashville, Tennessee facility. The packaging system handles bulk bag and 50 lb. bags for two different products. The project included a pneumatic conveying system, a load cell mounted storage bin, a system of transfer screw feeders, a product screen, two packers (air and impeller), two bulk bag fill stations, a bag placer, bag transfer conveyors and an automated palletizing system.
RHODIA - DUAL PRODUCT PALLETIZER
Matrix performed preliminary belt conveyor and equipment layout with specifications for a dual product palletizing system. Duties also included palletizer system evaluation including systems by Slidell, Mollers, Stone, PSI, and PASCO. Matrix performed preliminary design of a building extension to house the proposed palletizer. Matrix engineers also helped prepare estimates for total project cost as well as project schedule.
RHONE-POULENC – DUAL SPOUT PACKAGING SYSTEM
Matrix provided the layout and electrical engineering necessary to upgrade an existing bag packaging system. An existing impeller packer was replaced with a dual spout air packer with automatic bag placer and an in-line ultrasonic sealer. The new automated packaging system had to fit in the limited space occupied by the old system. Making layout for access and maintenance a particular challenge. Downtime was also a very critical factor and was minimized by the design.
