Tray Transfer Equipment for Baked Cakes
Equipment Overview
- Trays filled with baked cakes come out from an oven.
- The trays are pushed out to a conveyor carrying to the next process.
Before Improvement
➤ Trays filled with baked cakes come out on a chain conveyor to the X direction.
➤ A sensor detects when the tray reaches position A.
➤ A rod-less air cylinder with an arm sends it to the belt conveyor. (Orientation is changed 90 degrees).
Problems
➤ The source air pressure changes seasonally and depending on operating conditions of other equipment affects the operation.
➤ At the start of operation, the speed was faster and caused shock. As a result cakes collapsed and they were often disposed.
Reject rate 0.4%
After Improvement
Improved Equipment
✪ The air cylinder has been replaced by an ELECYLINDER.
Improvements
✪ The motorized ELECYLINDER is not affected by air pressure.
✪ In addition, because the speed and acceleration/ deceleration can be set individually, operations are always smooth without shock.
Reject rate 0%
✪ Reject rate per day has become zero percent.
✪ Profit increased by USD$3,600 per year.
120 pcs. X US$0.15 x 200 days = US$3,600.
