The Challenge
This pharmaceutical company faced a number of challenges, with its antacid product and existing conveying equipment. For starters, its conveyor was failing to adequately contain the antacid tablets being produced, resulting in substantial product loss and damage.
Further, the antacid tablets were dusty and potentially hazardous to the operators if exposed. To address this, the company considered installing personnel guards to provide additional protection.
Ultimately, a long-term solution was needed to contain the difficult product, prevent spillage and keep operators safe. UniTrak was up for the challenge.
The Solution and Results
With the new TipTrak™ installed in its production line, the company was able to minimize spillage, which was eating into its profits. Within six months, it placed a purchase order for six additional TipTraks™ to expand its production even further. One year later, two more identical TipTrak™ bucket elevators were purchased and installed.
