In recent years, 'automation', 'flexibility' and 'intelligence' have become the key words of food packaging conveyors, especially for production lines used to filling heavy food and beverages. However, what concerns manufacturers most is that how to convey materials/products to different stations in their filling workshops according to various production procedures in an efficient way.

Through intelligent modification and upgrading of conventional filling lines, the automated flexible production system (FPS) is able to realize fully-automatic operation of the whole process, from filling, sealing to packing. For such applications, it is a great challenge to design the equipment to cope with the elevation difference among various stations during vertical lifting of materials/products.

The equipment need to be not only designed with a higher load capacity to withstand the large weight of food to be filled, but also provided with unified interfaces, which are compatible with horizontal conveyors at inlets and outlets in order to implement the conveying process automatically.

With consideration of all factors including the characteristics of the customer's production line and processes, material flow, etc., SOUTHWORTH's team has developed the lifting equipment with customized configurations to ensure seamless coupling and integration of the entire filling line.

The lifting platform is designed with a compact structure (1.3m x 0.5m) to minimize the footprint and is able to perform the lifting operation even in a limited space;

Fast and efficient lifting operations can be ensured all the time by raising and lowering the platform within 4s and 6s respectively;

Thanks to a large load capacity up to 2t, the lifting equipment is able to convey food with a wide range of weight;

Through optimal overall structure and tailored wear-resistant parts, the durability and robustness of the equipment is maximized in order to meet the strict requirements for frequent lifting operations.

Adhering the spirit of craftsmanship, SOUTHWORTH, as a century-old brand, is committed to designing, manufacturing and installing one-stop solutions including these customized lift tables for automatic production lines, and providing products with higher safety and reliability to customers.
