Multi-Level Buffer Systems with Lifts

Task: Fully automatic transport and buffering of plastic parts

  • Plastic parts (e.g. power outlets in wall casings) are produced on four moulding injection machines.

  • The parts shall be conveyed from production area into storage area and stored temporarily in wooden boxes or cardboard boxes

  • For each machine a buffer capacity of 96 containers, 820 x 520 x 390mm or 600 x 400 x 550mm shall be realised.

  • Production has to run fully automated a complete weekend.

  • Available space is max. 12 x 13m.

  • Due to fire protection production und stock are separated from each other by a solid concrete wall.

Solution: Buffer system with Multi-Tech lift and floor conveyor belt

  • Buffer System consisting of a Multi-Tech Lift and a multi-level buffer with 4 resp. 5 levels, combined with one Multi-Rounder distributor and one machine discharge conveyor per injection moulding machine

  • The belt outlet of each machine discharge conveyor is connected to an aluminium chute, which goes through the fire protection wall

  • In the warehouse, the parts fall from the chute onto the distributor, which fills the containers in pairs on the Multi-Tech lift

  • When the containers are full and conveyed to a higher level by means of the lift, the Multi-Rounder slews to the side in order to prevent clashes with the lift conveyor
