Pik EfficiencyIn the event of a mispacked case, the PikMore will continue to operate smoothly without stopping – the faulty pack will simply pass through the machine via the case conveyor to be ejected at a later point in the packaging line. |
 |
Pik ConsistencyThe precise handoff between the gripper head and the empty bottle conveyor ensures that the bottles remain upright for the next step in the packaging process. |
 |
Pik AutonomyThe PikMore has been designed to operate continuously without an operator present. |
- The full case of empty bottles is transported into the machine and enters the hatching area, via customer upstream conveyors.
- The lowering head tracks the case once it is hatched, positioning the grippers above the bottles.
- The grippers engage the tops of the bottles by cradling the lip of each bottle’s neck.
- The lowering head raises the bottles up and out of the case, which is held down by retaining wheels.
- The lowering head, while holding the bottles, is raised up as it advances toward the empty bottle conveyor. The empty case exits the machine on the empty case conveyor.
- The lowering head gently places the bottles on the speed-matched discharge conveyor and releases them. The lowering head is then raised up and out of the way, returning to its original position to pick more bottles.
