Kensal Handling Systems recently finalised the phased installation of a flow-wrapper discharge conveyor and Print & Apply labeller to a new client based in Perth's northern suburbs, producing Ready Made Pizzas, Par Baked Pizza Bases & Garlic Breads, under the Cheeky brand, to local supermarkets in Perth & regional Western Australia.

The project included the supply, delivery, installation and commissioning of a flow-wrapping machine discharge conveyor, designed to simplify the hand packing operation of the production process, a new labeller infeed conveyor and a new Thermal Print, Print & Apply Labeller (LPA)

The labeller was included in the scope, as part of Kensal's turn-key project, and was selected based on its abililty to meet the application criteria, its simplicity of label reel change and general functionality.

As part of the project, the existing production layout was reconfigured by the Kensal Team to simplify the production process and maximise the operator access around the production line in its new configuration.

The new conveyor was constructed from a range of materials carefully considered to ensure that the product supplied, will live up to Kensal's quality standards, and provide a reliable solution for the client for years to come.

The conveyor chains were supplied by Intralox and were selected for each type of conveyor based on their ability to meet the requirements of the product handling solution required at each stage of the process. The first stage required maximum operating surface area to allow the operators space and time to place the wrapped product in to individual Pizza Boxes. The second stage required minimal surface contact with the boxes, but maximum grip to provide resistance as the boxes were automatically labelled by the new Print & Apply Label Applicator.

The Print & Apply Labeller was supplied and installed by Matthews Australasia. www.matthews.com.au
