The client's requirement was to transport boiled sweets from the existing cooling lines to the storage units via a vibratory grading hopper and metal detector to portable storage trolleys.

The key components in this conveyor system were the retracting flighted conveyors. These extended almost into the bottom of the portable storage trolley and slowly retracted as the unit filled. Two trolleys are positioned ready for filling and when one is filled, the cross conveyor reverses to repeat the operation on the second trolley. The full trolley is removed and replaced. The result is a reliable, user friendly, low maintenance system. The added benefit was that the solution dramatically reduced damage to the product.
