The 11KW Vacuum fan motors were replaced with 15KW motors to give extra power and allow the fans speeds to be increased for more vacuum.

Selection for the different can sizes added on the HMI panel.

New sensors provided for the vacuum lowerator to check for can flow in the event
of any can jamming can be pinpointed and indicated on the HMI screen.

Mechanic & Electrical installation.

Compere Ling provided two engineers for the supervision of the mechanical and electrical modifications to conveyors and set up system, with local labour supplied by
Swire Coca Cola.

We supplied parts to convert the top covers for the vacuum lowerator and the air conveyor to an automatic pneumatically operated for four position height adjustment.

The can size selection for both the VTU’s are manual via the hand wheel. New support brackets were added to the covers on the vacuum lowerator to allow for pneumatic cylinders to be fitted for automated height adjustment.

The automatic systems supplied with pneumatic control valves and pneumatic tubing for the distribution of air to the cylinders on the line. The existing side guide rails were reused and adjusted for the new can heights.
