System Highlights
• Motion-controlled delivery system to transport product from a filler to a case control and loading system
• Multiple component options to meet your specific bulk handling needs
• All components meet sanitary requirements
• Each lane of the bulk handling equipment has its own metal detector used to detect metal contaminants within the bucket conveyor
Kraken’s KTHS-100 Bulk Product Handling System is a motion-controlled delivery system to transport product from a filler to a case control and loading system. The presentation of the product from the filler to the transport system and the delivery/loading of cases are both profiled, intermittent motion actions; the product transport from the filler area to the case loading area is a continuous motion system.
Five bulk handling equipment components in the KTHS-100 work in concert to provide bulk product handling:
• Tube Chute
• Tube Racetrack Module
• Tube Bucket Conveyor Module
• Tube Drop Gate Module
• Carton Indexing Module
• Line Control System Module
Tube Chute Module
The quick-connect Tube Chute Module accepts 10 vertically-oriented tubes in 5 pairs from the intermittent motion filler at 50 cycles per minute. Each lane of the chute is configured to match the required pitch of the racetrack train pockets.
Racetrack Module
The Racetrack Module, constructed on a high-pressure, washdown-rated stainless steel frame, contains 2 Horizontal Racetrack Conveyors – each 56” long and 10” wide. One train per axis contains 5 pockets per. Pockets are pitched to accept 4 tubes per pocket for a total of 20 tubes per train from the Tube Chute Module.
