Plastek design, manufactures and decorates packaging products for the personal care, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and food markets.
UPM Conveyors installed the first system for Plastek UK in 2005 and have now completed their third additional system. Versatility of operation is provided via an HMI touch screen control for all products from injection moulding machines to be transferred to the fully automatic assembly and packaging machines without any manual involvement.
This is achieved by the incorporation of multi way diverters which were based on the unique conveyor design developed by UPM that resulted in their being awarded the Queens Award for Innovation.
Under press reversing reject belt conveyors operate via the machine SPC control to ensure only good product is transported via swan neck belt conveyors to high level conveyors to minimise floor area occupied then through a fire wall to assembly / filling lines with over capacity storage facility subject to high level detectors.
