2 PagesProcordia Food AB Increases Filler Efficiency by 8% with Intralox ARBTM Layout Optimization Background and Challenge The Procordia facility in Kumla, Sweden, packages fruit and berry products into Tetra Brik cartons for immediate shipping. At the packaging end of the fruit-juice filling line, cases coming from a case packer were lifted by an elevator to the palletizer infeed. Though the plant’s production targets had increased, the elevator’s limited capacity impeded throughput. Frequent bottlenecking near the elevator led to hourly line stops of the conveyors and filling machine, resulting in product waste and incorrectly filled cartons. In addition, cases often accumulated along a series of elevated roller conveyors, leading to damage from rough handling.Solution Intralox Activated Rolle
