Automatic bagging production line

Peacock Salt is one of the oldest suppliers of antifreeze salt in the UK and is headquartered in Ayr, Scotland. Recently, the company installed an automatic bagging and stacking line provided by Webster Griffin that can achieve rapid conversion. This greatly reduced labor costs and reduced inventory, making it possible for the entire production line to be monitored by only one forklift driver.

The old semi-automated production line at the Peacock Salt Company Glasgow Depot requires three or four operators. Instead, a new production line replaced with a driver monitors, puts 600 kg of reel film on the bag-packing machine twice a day, keeps the empty tray storage magazine full, and transports the packaged tray to the transmission line for transport. can.

Webster Griffin offers a new bagging line that can package different grades of salt at a rate of 900 bags per hour in 5 kg, 10 kg, 15 kg or even 25 kg packages per bag. The company stated: “For a traditional automated bagging line, it takes one to two hours to switch from one bag size to another. The new line can switch from one production line to the next, from 5 kg to 25 The kilogram bag package takes only 20 minutes, which allows Peacock's customers to respond quickly to their needs.”

The advantages of the production line are not only its flexible application, saving labor costs, but also fewer moving parts compared to machines that use reel film making and bagging, which is particularly important for components exposed to corrosive salt .
