System Plast SpeedSet™ Brackets Solution
Customer has a filler line that conveys 5 different sized plastic bottles. They change bottle sizes at least 2 times per week. They currently use double rail guides with hand knobs. Each change-over takes an average of 4 hours and the dimensions would vary due to the process. They would spend an average of $104 per week for labor costs.
System Plast® Solution
SpeedSet brackets solve conveyor line change-over problems quickly. The benefit of SpeedSet brackets is preset conveyor guide rail adjustability that is fast and accurate without the need for tools. SpeedSet brackets are fast because a simple push on the end knob moves the rod, clamp, and guide rail. Within seconds, each rail holding point can be adjusted by inserting a spacer, saving valuable time on line change-overs.
