Supporting a Local Coffee Roaster with Custom Container Handling Solutions

Recently, the Carleton Helical Technologies team had the opportunity to visit a local customer and see our packaging machinery in action.

As this local coffee roaster continues to expand its facility to meet growing market demand, its packaging lines have needed to evolve along with it. CHT was able to provide several custom container handling solutions to help keep products moving efficiently throughout the packaging process.

Container Invertors for Rinsing and Date Coding

CHT container invertors were incorporated into multiple areas of the packaging operation.

For the container rinsing application, our invertors rotate containers into the proper orientation for cleaning and then return them upright as they continue through the packaging line.

In another application, invertors position the containers for date coding, allowing the necessary area of the package to be presented to the coding equipment before the containers are returned to their original orientation.

Because CHT invertors operate using the movement of the conveyor and require no external power source, they provide a simple, reliable solution for rotating containers within an existing production line.

Belt Drives for Additional Container Control

The facility also utilizes several CHT Belt Drives in areas where additional container control and movement are needed.

Belt Drives can be integrated into packaging lines to help guide, stabilize, transfer, or push containers through challenging transition points. Their versatility makes them a useful solution when a packaging line requires additional control without adding unnecessary complexity.

Simple Solutions for a Growing Packaging Operation

One of the best parts of visiting a customer’s facility is seeing how our equipment becomes part of a much larger production process. In this case, our invertors and belt drives are performing different jobs throughout the facility, but they share the same goal: keeping containers moving efficiently and reliably.

As this local coffee roaster continues to grow, we’re proud to have CHT equipment helping support its expanding packaging operation.

At Carleton Helical Technologies, we design and manufacture custom container handling solutions for a wide range of packaging applications. From invertors and feedscrews to rinsers, belt drives, denesters, and custom handling equipment, our team works with manufacturers to solve container handling challenges throughout the production line.
