A.M.P-Rose: A prototype process for high efficiency, high throughput, secondary packaging of snacks

A.M.P-Rose是全球领先的巧克力、糖果、糖果、饼干和晶片行业加工和包装机械供应商之一。我们提供新的以及旧的和改装的许多类型的糖果机器。近年来，我们已经将这些技术应用于制造美味的零食包装机，以满足这一领域日益增长的机会。薯片等休闲食品通常在生产后直接包装，以保持新鲜度。不同口味的薯片将在不同的生产线上生产和包装。在传统的分拣包装线上，包裹从单独的装袋线上递送，经过多个分拣阶段，到达单独的传送带上，在那里，邮包被单独挑选，并由机器人设备吸入提升到分拣生产线上。由于这种分拣和提升操作缓慢，需要许多机器人设备。这些设备极其昂贵，并且需要大量的地面空间。另外，在传统生产线上，转换到新的产品类型或整理会导致相当长的停机时间，因为机器必须手动调整。我们设计了一条新型整理包装线，它使用输送系统和新的伺服技术将单个包裹送入包装器进行多包装。好处包括：*更高的吞吐量*自动转换*打包格式化*提高效率*降低资本成本

A.M.P-Rose is one of the world's leading suppliers of processing and packaging machines forthe chocolate, confectionery, candy, biscuit and wafer industries. We supply new as well asused and rebuilt confectionery machines of many types. In recent years, we have transferredthese skills into manufacturing savoury snack packaging machines to meet the growingopportunity in this area.Snack foods such as crisps are typically sealed into packets straight after manufacture topreserve freshness. Different flavoured crisps will be manufactured and packaged on separatelines. It is then common practice to bring together a collation of packets for secondarypackaging in a larger bag.In a conventional collation packaging line, the packets are delivered from the individualbagging lines, through a number of sorting stages and onto individual belts from wherepackets are individually selected and suction-lifted into the collation line by robotic devices.Because this selection and lifting operation is slow, a number of robotic devices are needed.These are extremely expensive and require a large amount of floor space. Also on aconvetional line, changeover to a new product type or collation can result in significantdowntime because the machinery has to be manually adjusted.We have designed an novel collating packaging line, which uses a conveying system and newservo technology to feed individual packets to the wrapper for multipacking. The benefitsinclude:* higher throughput* automatic change-over* bale formatting* increased efficiency* lower capital costs
