Crizaf buffer systems
Crizaf has different types of systems to buffer products. From the injection molding machine, products are supplied by means of a robot or conveyor belt, from here they will be stored in boxes or crates. With the help of a buffer system, a long production can take place in which products are automatically stored. A big advantage of this is that production can be run at night or in the weekend without personnel on the work floor.
Types of buffer systems:
- Linear buffer systems
- Linear multi-level filling and storage system
- Rotating gutters
- Standalone weighing systems
Crizaf buffer systems
The buffer system is connected to the machine by means of a potential free contact. By means of this signal the products are counted.
The buffer system also has a connection for a conveyor belt. When the desired number of products in a box or crate is reached, the conveyor belt is stopped, the next empty box comes forward and then the conveyor belt is started again. Optionally, this can also give a signal to the machine to stop producing.
Linear buffer systems
This buffer system consists of a conveyor belt and roller track and can be placed low to the ground or at working height. An additional weighing unit or vibration platform can also be integrated.
This type of buffer system is very compact and easy to place next to a machine. When the desired number of products is reached, the next box is transported forward and the full box with products rolls forward on the roller conveyor.
Linear multi-level filling and storage system
This buffer system consists of multiple layers with a lift. This allows a larger quantity of boxes to be buffered and the required floor space remains limited. The system can be equipped with a gutter that folds in when the lift is working. A weighing unit or vibration platform can also be integrated.
Because there are multiple levels, many products can be buffered. The unit is easy to move and can therefore be used with different machines. To ensure safety, the buffer system at the lift is equipped with a Polycarbonate (PC) shield.
Rotating gutters
This is the simplest buffer system. The rotation chute can be placed under a conveyor belt or integrated into a conveyor belt. The chute is height-adjustable, has a maximum rotation of 270° and can easily be placed in any desired position.
Standalone weighing systems
This system can weigh the products that are ready and when the desired quantity is reached, let them fall through into a box or crate. This system is easy to integrate and signals are easy to exchange by means of a potential free contact.
