Opening and dumping corrugated boxes of caps into feeder bins takes time. It also takes machine operators away from what they are paid to do…operate the production line.
Knocking-down and recycling corrugated cap boxes also takes time. Again, this task takes operators away from what they are paid to do…operate the production line.
And, as everyone knows, an operators’ time is valuable both in terms of expense and in terms of line productivity.
Zalkin automated bulk cap loading systems free-up operators to focus on machine operation and line performance by automating the loading of caps into feeder bins.
Automated bulk loading systems dump full pallet totes of caps, also referred to as Octabins, into bulk feeder bins. Full pallet totes are staged by fork lift drivers, and from there, the loading process is automated.
