PROJECT To design , supply and install a leading aerosol manufacturer with two depalletiser tables to receive depalletized layers of empty deodorant cans and streamline them , positively and gently into a single file for discharge to a downstream process via a series of single file conveyors .
MATERIALS
• Predominantly 304 grade stainless steel
• Movex Series 150 modular belt with 8mm pitch
• Nylon guide rails - antistatic
• Klockner Moeller isolators
• Siemens 57 - 1500 PLC

Unitech Engineering worked closely with their client to design and manufacture two bespoke de-palletiser tables . Our client requested from the start of the project that we adhere to their mechanical and electrical standards and specifications . This included us using their preferred suppliers for some of the components .
Each unit has a throughput of 350 cans per minute and was designed to handle 35-53mm cans of differing designs . Each table receives layers of cans 1200mm wide leading x 1000mm and is 5550mm in length and 1485mm wide .
Due to the bespoke nature of this project , numerous trials took place to ensure maximum efficiency with design amendments along the way and additional safety requirements requested by our client . One snagging point encountered was that the taller and slimmer of the cans occasionally fell due to their design . Unitech worked around this by designing removable centre rail arrangements which could be used when
