Distribution device for blow-molded parts

Details MTF Technik Hardy Schürfeld GmbH & Co. KG

Task: Distributing and counting plastic bottles

Various bottles are produced on a blow molding machine.

The bottles are to be produced in unmanned shifts and automatically distributed and counted in a total of 20 large containers (each 1200x800x1700mm).

The area on which the containers are placed should be freely accessible when the system is not in use, with a clear height of 2,300 mm.

Filled containers should be able to be exchanged by the operator during system operation.

Solution: Conveyor belt combination with control and distribution via multi-rounder

Large Z-conveyor belt with raised guide plates and PET belt covers for the safe transport of bottles to a height of approximately 3,500 mm.

A total of three straight, reversible conveyor belts are mounted on existing crane rails. Because they are suspended from above, the entire floor area in the container placement area remains clear.

Two of these conveyor belts each have two multi-rounders (rotary distributors) mounted at the belt outlets.

Sensors on the blow molding machine count the bottles at the belt inlet of the Z-conveyor belt and feed them to the different containers at adjustable times.

Containers can be exchanged and acknowledged in blocks via the control system.
