Custom 2200 Series Incline Conveyor Provides Simple Overflow Solution  

2200InclineThe Application

Recently, a customer needed a conveyor to handle the overflow and bulk storage of K-Cups being processed in a pre-feed system

The Solution

By customizing a Dorner 2200 Series cleated incline conveyor we were able to create a simple overflow system – maximizing uptime and reducing product loss

The Process & Details

  • The 2200 Series cleated conveyor was customized with fabricated Stainless-Steel guiding and sidewalls, adjustable inclined stands, and a perpendicular exit shoot
  • If a line malfunction is detected, the K-Cups are diverted to the incline conveyor
  • The K-cups are then recirculated back into the main storage elevator which allows the operator to assess the line and fix the issue without shutting down the entire process
  • The incline conveyor is equipped with a sensor that detects part level
    • If parts are detected the incline conveyor will run until it is clear of parts. This also indicates the line is back up and running
  • If the line is shut down, the shoot can be opened, and the product can be returned into the bottom tray and back to bulk storage
