Recent Innovative Engineering
and Installation Successes
Glass Line
Capabilities
CtR recently expanded on existing glass and dairy beverage container expertise with the design, procurement, installation and start-up of a new turn-key best-in-class packaging production line for our client. The project included the expansion of the existing process systems to keep pace with the added facility production capacity.
Sustainability
A recent CtR project targeted reducing water waste in a beverage manufacturing facility. Our customer wanted to reclaim water in two different process areas that had previously been dumped to drain. The goal of this sustainability project was twofold: to lower utility costs through reduced water usage, and make this customer a more responsible global citizen through conservation of natural resources.
Line Efficiency
Improvements
CtR provides audits and efficiency studies
that can help you achieve your production
goals with existing production equipment.
A recent project involved an engineering audit and subsequent case conveyor
upgrades on a can line at a brewery. The client desired to increase the overall
efficiency of the line by increasing the case conveyor speeds, which in turn
would allow for greater packaging flexibility between their two fillers and two
packaging legs. Upon completion, one packaging leg will have the capability
of handling the entire throughput of both fillers in operation. Therefore,
changeover between packing legs will not infringe on production time.
Cost effective improvements for the mechanical areas were developed that
included replacing conveyor components as well as complete conveyor sections
that appeared to be hindering the operation. A control scheme was developed
that could maximize operation once the mechanical obstacles were remedied.
The final results achieved provide increase in productivity by eliminating
changeover production lost at the packer.
Documentation
CtR completed a documentation project
that established the engineering standards
for a major beverage manufacturer.
Empty Can
System Design
The client requested an empty can delivery system
that would allow for a range of empty can heights
and diameters with minimal changeover time to be
performed by operators rather than line mechanics,
and allow for future can size additions with minimal
investment.
Modular Syrup
Room Process
System Design
The client requested an efficient
modular design that would be
applicable in Greenfield sites as well
as retrofit into existing syrup rooms.
Heat Recovery
of Mold Cooling
Process Water
The client requested the heat normally discharged to
the atmosphere via the cooling tower exhaust of heat
removed from the molds of blow molders be captured
and transferred to the water utilized to warm the
cold-filled containers.
