Can line seed breeder
We have set up a can line for two different can sizes that are filled with seeds at a seed breeder. Up to the point where the cans are closed, the seeds are shielded with gas, by means of a gas pipe that runs above the track (provided by a specialist supplier).
The line consists of the following elements:
- a set-up table for the small cans that are supplied from a pallet;
- a double pressure inliner for both can sizes including a hand attachment section for the large cans - only one can size is filled at a time;
- a set of star wheels that guide the cans to the filling line in a controlled manner;
- a filling line with stoppers on which the cans are blown clean one by one and filled with protection gas ;
- a split lane over which the cans are guided by size to a seaming machine where the cans are closed;
- a labeller (labeling machine) provided by a specialist supplier, in collaboration with us and the customer;
- a table on which the paths of both can sizes meet and are routed to one conveyor;
- a conveyor leading to the packing robot;
- and an ejection table that can be used for hand packing.
