A special guide plate to resolve product tipping troubles! Selected materials known for their slip resistance and durability.
This is a case study of solving customer issues in the PET bottle transportation process at a beverage company. In recent years, the company has been struggling with the increasing complexity and diversity of bottle shapes, which have been getting caught on the conveyor's guide plates and falling over. To address this, we learned that by machining a V-groove on the surface of the guide, the contact area could be reduced, thereby resolving similar issues. We proposed this solution to the customer. As a result, instead of a temporary measure like applying slip-resistant tape, a permanent solution was achieved. [Key Points] - Multiple types were prototyped to find the optimal depth and pitch of the V-groove. - CAD drawings were submitted to facilitate easy ordering upon formal adoption. - Considering the constraints of the processing machine and handling during installation, the guide was manufactured to a length of 2 meters. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

basic information
【Issues】 ■ We do not want to reduce the conveyor speed. ■ We have switched from stainless steel to ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene with enhanced slip properties, but bottle tipping troubles still occur. ■ The design of PET bottles has diversified, resulting in shapes with poor weight balance. ■ Applying fluororesin tape or slip-resistant materials can temporarily resolve the issue, but they wear out quickly. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
