Effective Distribution of Material

Effective Distribution of Material

An aluminum disk manufacturer was looking for a better solution to meter their product. They also needed to effectively convey the aluminum disks in two directions as well as distribute them to four separate locations. - General Kinematics was asked to come up with a solution for their distribution problem. The GK team assessed not only the workload, but also the area within which the system needed to be built. - A Two-Way Feeder was first engineered to move the material in two opposite directions. Off each end of the Two-Way Feeder GK then installed a pivoting feeder that could rotate approximately 45 degrees to feed two of the manufacturer’s cleaning units.
