AN EPIC INTEGRATED PACKAGING SYSTEMS SOLUTION
Front- End Engineering
EPIC first completed its front-end engineering approach to assure the most efficient process and accurate quotation. After reviewing the state of the current packaging/filling line with the client, EPIC’s engineers completed a line evaluation and created an implementation plan that included the following elements:
-
- Reprogramming of the original equipment in the pail filling line
- Specifications for mass micro-flow meters for increased efficiency
- An infeed line which included a capper, crimper and a lift assist at the end of the line
- Control system integration to create a semi-automatic line
EPIC Systems recommended an efficient option for advanced line automation and machine vision inspection for QA checks.
Work Scope
- Custom specified and modified palletizer
- Semi-automatic, integrated control system
- Custom infeed line, capper, crimper and lift assist
- Complete and correct filler reprogramming
