Crate Handling Solutions - SF Engineering

Complete Solutions For Your Crate Handling Needs

 

We can integrate our handling & packing solutions in your existing customer production management system, or offer completely new solutions including full destination control.

Full destination control of internal crates is crucial and we can offer complete solutions designed for each individual customer.

The system consists of horizontal and or vertical modular conveyor belts for crate transport.

Identification of each crate and its contents is key, therefore the crate handling system can use RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) or barcodes as identification on each crate to make sure there is full control of the production line.

The crate handling system is controlled by a PLC HMI control system, which provides realtime equipment status which can be fed back to a central control room.

Systems can be configured to include a range of options, including an integrated crate washing and drying system.

Handling systems are specific to a customer’s precise needs and factory layout.
