Challenge

Space Limitations: Insufficient floor space for conventional material handling equipment between production levels
Throughput Bottlenecks: Existing manual methods couldn’t support required production volumes
Hygiene Compliance: Needed easy-to-clean surfaces meeting food industry sanitation standards
Process Integration: Required seamless connection between mixing, packaging, and labeling operations on different floors

Challenge

Space-Optimized Design: Compact footprint minimized facility space requirements while connecting multiple levels
Hygienic Construction: Stainless steel materials and easy-to-clean surfaces met food industry sanitation standards
Continuous Operation: Circulating path design enabled non-stop material flow without workflow interruption
Precise Control: Mitsubishi PLC and Delta inverter provided accurate speed and positioning control
Flexible Configuration: Z-type conveying path optimized for facility layout between production levels
Increased Throughput: Achieved 1500 pieces per hour vertical transportation capacity
Space Optimization: 40% reduction in floor space required for inter-level material handling
Labor Efficiency: Eliminated 3 manual material handling positions between levels
Process Reliability: 99% uptime in continuous 24/5 operation
