ENERGY EFFICIENT DRYING

3D[WRQ·VKLJKHIILFLHQF\ blowers and air delivery devices improve drying of cans and bottles for high quality labeling and coding, while using 60–80% less energy, typically giving a one year ROI.

NO WATER OR COMPRESSED AIR NEEDED 3D[WRQ·V1HZ,RQL]HG Air System replaces both water rinsing and compressed air rinsing, using less energy and no wasted resources.

3D[WRQ·VSRZHUIXO air delivery removes particulates, dust and debris efficiently and effectively. And if static cling is an issue, 3D[WRQ·V,RQL]HG$LU Systems dissipate the static then blast the debris away.

BOTTLE AND CAN RINSING

DUST AND DEBRIS BLOW OFF

All Paxton Air Systems are custom-engineered to maximize performance and minimize energy usage.

All Paxton Blowers carry a full three year warranty.

VEE CONE BLENDER

The Munson Machinery vee cone blender features two inclined cylinders mounted on pillow block bearings that rotate end-over-end at 30 rpm, causing bulk material to fall, converge, and divide with each rotation, typically achieving consistent blends in 15 to 30 min. Able to blend materials with bulk densities up to 100 lb/ft3 in capacities up to 8 qt, the Model VB-.25-SSXHDI laboratory-sized blender is equipped with an independently powered intensifier bar that breaks up soft agglomerates; a dispersion bar that sprays liquid additions onto the moving materials also is available. Housed in a safety-interlocked polycarbonate enclosure with lifting handles, the unit is constructed of carbon steel with stainlesssteel material contact surfaces finished to industrial standards.

ROBOTIC SYSTEM

The Bastian Solutions robotic system combines advanced AI, machine vision, end-of-arm tooling, a six-axis robot, and seamless software integration to turn a GTP system into an e cient GTR solution. As new products are introduced, the SmartPick order fulfillment system AI software builds a library of objects it has handled, along with optimal picking information, which is shared across the entire fleet, allowing the robots to continuously learn from each other and improve the system’s accuracy. The AI directly interfaces with Bastian Solutions intralogistics software, allowing the cells to run with autonomy.
