Industry:
Automobile, Warehousing
Material Handled:
Cycle Tires Bundles
Activity To Be Mechanized/Automation:
- Unloading of tire bundles from trucks coming from vendors
- Different size and different vendors to be unloaded at different points
- Storage location of tires is at 9mtr height at mezzanine level
- Customer wants automatic unloading of tires at different locations
Issues Faced:
- Layout of location was very constricting to easy placement of conveyors
- Inclination angles and slopes of conveyor selected was very steep and difficult to engineer
- Auto-unloading feature was very complicated to ensure each tire bundle to be unloaded
Solution Provided With Equipments:
- Closed loop overhead multi-direction chain system with special design common hangers for different size and types of tire bundles
- Conveyor starting from truck unloading area direct to material storage drop zone at mezzanine 9mtr height level and return.
- Auto-unloading stations (2nos) located at 9mtr height mezzanine for unloading the tire bundles onto the storage areas.
- Complete selection and monitoring control panel
Benefits:
- Effective and smooth material flow with continuous unloading and storage activities.
- Huge manual effort saving with only single point effort of tire unloading from truck.
- Auto-unloading of tire bundles at storage area without human intervention.
- Monetary manual effort saving of rs. 1l per month
