The challenge
To move from manual to automated production – that was the dream of a dry ice manufacturer. Here, the challenge was to overcome the different ejection and working heights of the various machines, as well as to fulfill the need for a mobile solution. When the belt conveyors are not in use, it must be possible to push them aside. Another challenge: Production wanted to be able to saw up blocks of ice.
The solution
With a total of five belt conveyors – two TB40s and three TB30s – we automated the dry ice production as the customer requested. Because the TB30 belt conveyor after the dry ice block machine has an incline, a second belt conveyor or a conveyor with a bend is not necessary. The belt saw that saws the ice blocks up is placed between the two TB30 belt conveyors positioned next to one another. And so that mobility is guaranteed, all five belt conveyors
