Kongskilde Case Story

Process waste handling of
endless trims - Spain

Improve the productivity and working environment with a Kongskilde pneumatic solution.

The Challenge

This Spanish lollypop producer is part of a world wide company producing confectionary products.

The customer has 4 process machines producing endless trims of waste when packing lollypops. The trims were collected in small binds next to the machine and that created 3 main problems:

  • The time and labour cost needed to handle and remove the waste were too high. The removal of waste required a forklift. This created a liability issue in the production area
  • The look of the production environment with trim waste laying in waste containers was not representative whenever the customer received guests
  • There was a negative impact on the productivity caused by the accumulated waste around each machine
  • The company needed a waste solution that could keep the production area clean and increase production efficiency due minimal line stops

The Solution

  • The pneumatic solution implemented is the well-proven Kongskilde RVS 5000 system combined with the new FC MultiAir 1100S and one MultiCutter. The pipeline is the flexible OK 160 system and the solution is easy to upgrade
  • High flexibility and the modularity means easy setup of the pneumatic conveyor solution which can be accomplished in hours. The pipes mounted in the ceiling liberates space
  • The solution generates a significant low extraction airflow for every machine

The pneumatic solution implemented is the well-proven Kongskilde RVS 5000 system combined with the new FC MultiAir 1100S and one MultiCutter.

The Advantages and Benefits

  • The Kongskilde solution increased productivity as the customer no longer has to stop the machines to empty the waste bins where the endless trims used to be collected
  • Downtime has been reduced by 1.5 hours by automatic and continuous transfer of waste directly out of the production facilities to an outside container
  • Labour cost related to manual waste handling inside the production and adjacent areas has been reduced by 25 %. The liability related to the forklift is no longer a concern
  • More space around the machines improves productivity
  • The factory environment is cleaner as waste is no longer collected in bins around the machines
  • Due to the vertical piping design and use of stainless steel pipes the customer can now perform wet cleaning regularly inside and outside on our trim suction piping
  • Pay-back time is expected to be less than 10 months

Labour cost related to manual waste handling inside the production and adjacent areas has been reduced by 25 %
