For this project, we partnered with a well-known maker of premium smallgoods and poultry products, which is now part of a broader global food network spanning Australia and New Zealand.
They brought us in to design and manufacture a custom conveyor solution. The main goal was to take the heavy lifting out of their current production line and significantly reduce manual handling for their team.
The Challenge
- The primary hurdle was navigating a complex, multi-level production line without any proper mechanical lifting assistance.
- Workers lacked the necessary automation to easily raise heavy ingredients up to the required production levels.
- The existing process forced staff to undertake an extremely demanding and strenuous manual handling workload daily.
- Relying entirely on manual labour meant the ingredient lifting procedure was exceptionally slow and consumed valuable time.
The Solution
- Our engineering team collaborated closely with site stakeholders to conceptualise and design an effective incline conveyor.
- We utilised advanced 3D technology to bring the concept to life, allowing real time customer visualisation.
- The design team supplied a comprehensive suite of detailed drawings to guide our highly skilled fabricators.
- The completed unit underwent rigorous workshop testing and strict sign off before dispatch for site installation.
The Outcome
- The new incline conveyor successfully automated the line, completely eliminating the need for manual ingredient lifting.
- By removing the manual workload, the upgraded system significantly boosted overall production levels for the client.
- Premium food grade materials and exceptional fabrication reduced downtime whilst creating a highly hygienic and cleanable setup.
- This innovative engineering solution delivered fantastic outcomes, drastically improving onsite workplace health and safety for operators.
