Secure pharmaceutical handling
27 April 2014
Following a successful working relationship with 17 separate contracts since 1998, a leading pharmaceutical company returned to Conveyor Systems Ltd (CSL) to provide a similar narrow slat chain conveyor for handling very small containers in a controlled environment and transferring these to packing stations.
The 28mm wide, specially designed bespoke manufactured chain slat conveyor transports small lightweight containers in single file at floor level, and then elevates them up to high level and through clean room operations at speeds of up to 120 containers per minute.
As in previous systems, CSL designed and manufactured a special side grip elevator with FDA approved twin side grip belts, featuring small rubber fingers to securely hold onto the lightweight containers whilst travelling vertically up to high level.
