Inkbox Filler System
A major franking machine manufacturer needed to fill plastic bag contained in boxes with ink. The bags had a protruding screw filling
point and the requirement was for a fully automated filling line
that would check the bag for leaks before filling, reject the bag if
necessary, fill with ink, cap and check integrity of seal. Quadrant
designed, built and installed a machine for filling these
containers.
Camera Detection System
Capping is one of the last processes that occurs in most filling
processes. Any fault in the cap can lead to leakage, contamination
of the product, and damage to surrounding packages. Quadrant have
designed, built and installed a camera detection system that
identifies incorrectly moulded caps so that they can be rejected
before being used. The system operates at a speed of 1000 caps per
minute and can detect 16 fault areas including faulty printing.
Can Shaker
Aerosol cans of shaving foam needed product mixing and removal of
butane from the dip tube. In consultation with the client, Quadrant
designed, built and installed a can shaker to handle up to 200
aerosol cans per minute and shake them as part of a flow line
process.
Cardboard Tube Lidder
A major cardboard tube manufacturer needed a machine to apply lids to one end of the tube before being despatched to their various
customers. Quadrant designed, built and installed a machine that
forces the bottom into the tube and puts a chamfer on the other end
so that the cap can be easily inserted by the customer filling the
tube. The machine operates at 100 tubes per minute.
Depucker
Various sizes and shapes of glass or plastic perfume bottles are
held in pucks to carry them through the filling process. At the end
of the filling process these pucks had to be removed manually.
Quadrant designed, built and installed a flow line machine to
perform this task automatically.
Dip Tuber
Multipurpose aerosol filling machines needed dip tubes of differing
lengths to be fitted to the aerosol valve. Quadrant designed, built
and installed a flow line machine to carry out this operation at the
rate of 150 valves per minute.
Membrane Machine
Membranes needed to be applied to aseptic type bag glands as part of
the flow line process. Quadrant designed, built and installed a
machine to do this at the rate of 60 cycles per minute.
Ozone System
Water systems need good sterilisation systems. Ozone sterilisation
is regarded as one of the safest and most effective ways of doing this on water
systems. Quadrant, in association with a well respected ozone generator manufacturer,
designed, built and installed a flow line process to carry out this task.
