This solution represents an exemplary implementation for conveying sensitive cartridge cases between two production machines. The design is entirely tailored to customer-specific requirements and spatial conditions. The goal is a demand-driven, quiet, and damage-free material flow, even under confined space conditions.

The cartridge cases are manually emptied from plastic containers into a generously sized stainless steel hopper (hopper volume: 300l). From there, the automated transport of parts begins to the first production machine, which operates with two vibratory feeders. Sensors detect their fill level and control the feed accordingly. After the first processing step, the sleeves are conveyed via a steeply inclined ZL conveyor belt with an integrated chute (made of soundproofed stainless steel acoustic sheeting with a cascade structure) into a rounder. This distributes the parts as needed, either to a second production machine or into buffer containers. The entire system is designed to prevent jamming or damage to the sleeves. This is ensured, among other things, by high-quality, positively guided conveyor belts with precise guidance and extra-long cleats. Stainless steel-coated guide profiles, welded overhangs, and fully covered conveyor belts ensure safe processes. Furthermore, a VIPA control system (comparable to Siemens S7) guarantees fully automated coordination of all process steps, including connection to both machines, empty container monitoring, and batch change management. Passageways in the production area remain accessible at all times thanks to compact belt routing and ceiling mounting.
