Integration Partners Team Up for Successful

When
customers need help, NECI is ready, even when
outside-the-box skills must be called on. Two recent
installations point to the fact that NECI and its
partners deliver working solutions to every
customer.
When
Continental Structural Plastics in Springhill,
Louisiana, expanded its plant, NECI provided the pallet
conveyor to service the expansion. The customer added
three new die-cut machines and needed a way to deliver
the pallets to their stretch wrapper with a minimum
elevation. The conveyor also had to be set up to detect
additional pallets that were added to the conveyor by
means of a fork truck.
NECI
knew that resolving these material handling challenges
would require some of those outside-the-box skills, and
called upon Jimmy Feazel, president of Feazel Electrical
Contractors (FEC).
 |
| This Stretch Wrap Pallet Conveyor
is based on the new Hytrol Gen. 3 EZLogic Pallet
Conveyor. | |
FEC’s
expertise came into play in the design of the controls
to match the operational requirements of the system. The
conveyor system detects and automatically indexes the
additional pallets into the system so that they are also
in the queue to be stretch wrapped right along with the
pallets from the new die-cut machines.
NECI
handled the system design, equipment engineering,
development of sequence of operation, mechanical
installation and all system debugging. FEC designed the
controls to match operational requirements, PLC/PC
programming and all electrical field wiring.
 |
| FEC housed all the electrical
controls in the zero radius
turn. | |
Graphic
Packaging in West Monroe, Louisiana, needed a way to
rotate collapsed printed beverage boxes into their
stacker. To accomplish this, NECI installed a high-speed
zero radius belt conveyor manufactured by Interroll.
The
zero radius turn houses all of the electrical controls.
The entire unit can be put into place and/or moved out
of position when required. When the unit is moved out,
the two short straight sections are then moved over to
create a straight run lane into the stacker.
With
its ability to handle unusual requirements, FEC wired
the unit and handled the PLC/PC programming to meet each
of the customer’s needs—space, speed and efficiency.

When the unit is moved out, the
two short straight sections are then moved over
to create a straight run lane into the
stacker. | |
In
the end, the integration of these two conveyors and
their electrical controls could not have happened
without the expertise of both Nelson Equipment Company,
Inc. and Feazel Electrical Contractors. When Single
Source matters, contact Nelson Equipment Company, Inc.
