Helping The Range Load up Lorries Quickly
Case Studies
This is a superb example of a Zero Line Pressure Conveyor System that we’ve introduced to one of the UK’s major retailers. It keeps everything moving safely and on time.
From packing benches to loading bays
PJP Conveyors have designed, built and installed a Zero Line Pressure (ZLP) mild-steel conveyor system for The Range.
Line-shaft driven rollers and a ZLP system now take parcels of products efficiently around from packing benches to lorry loading bays.
The parcels are individually separated and distributed straight to docked lorries via flexible conveyors. 90-degree F-RAT transfer units divert boxes accordingly and ensure the right parcel gets to the correct lorry.
ZLP systems protect people, products & the planet
If ‘pressure’ were to build up anywhere on this system, it could cause product damage or cause health and safety hazards.
ZLP systems ensures products don’t touch each other by creating a buffer between each one. Using sensors, this system keeps each item in a specific ‘zone’ at all times to stop bottlenecks (or pressure) occurring. Nothing moves along the line until the sytem confirms its next zone is clear. This creates a very smooth journey where packages reach their destination in pristine condition.
The drives don’t constantly run, but constantly stop and start as needed. This means the system uses energy very efficiently. Another reason why this type of system is a great choice!
