Developed a turnkey line including a pail denester, filler, lid placer, and lid closer, and vessel press.  Al controlled by a centralized control system with Ethernet communications, resulting in plug and play functionality that can be removed, enabled, or disabled independently of one another.

Modular pail denester is designed for 1 gallon plastic pails with an integrated stack accumulation conveyor. Stacks are manually placed onto the accumulator, and are singularly fed into the machine. As a new stack is being loaded, it gets pushed onto the elevator plate. The elevator lifts the entire stack into position. It then removes the bottom pail with vacuum, lowers it to table top level, and pushes it onto an adjacent take-away conveyor.

Kinesys Automation’s fully modular, mobile lid placer is used for lidding containers that are in continuous motion. When a container passes by the lid placer, the leading lip of the container strips a lid off the slide, resting it on top of the container. The lid placer then retrieves another lid off the stack and places it onto the slide. As each successive lid is placed, the elevator raises the stack until the entire stack is exhausted. The elevator then lowers to receive another stack from the accumulator. Equipped with wheels and a quick connect umbilical cable, this lid placer can be easily removed, used for multiple lines, or switched out with another style placer.

Kinesys Automation has introduced the most compact hydraulic vessel press in the industry. With an integrated oil tank and control system, this system is stand-alone and offers the freedom to position this unit without the clutter of tanks, pumps, hoses and plumbing lines obstructing access to its perimeter. Vessels are rolled into the press at floor height and guided into position with reinforced wheel guides. The hydraulically driven elevator platform then raises the vessel to a height that makes it convenient for transfer. Once at the discharge height, support pins with inter-locking safety switches lock the elevator platform into position and the overhead plate is lowered into the vessel to initiate discharge directly to a filler.
