Heinz-Golden Circle, Robotic Depalletiser

Heinz-Golden Circle, Melbourne was looking for an economical solution to depalletise a range of empty PET bottles from two different sized pallets simultaneously and provide bottles in single file to two separate filling lines.

The challenge for Scott was to develop a system that had the flexibility to handle the customers’ product range automatically and deliver it into a compact foot print but maintain good operator accessibility.

The conventional approach would have been to have two independent layer style depalletisers, each dedicated to its own filling line. The ScottPHS solution however utilized a single ABB660 180kg robot, picking layers from two pallet stations and delivering each of the layers to separate mass flow conveyors. Each product was then singulised on a pressureless single filer directly into each filling line. The robot also stacks layer boards, top frames and empty pallets automatically.

John Wiens, Production Development Manager of Waiwera Water

The team at ScottPHS were very professional in all their dealings. They took the time to fully understand our needs, and came up with a solution that met our requirements perfectly. Their project management was excellent ensuring the project ran on time and on budget.

The ScottPHS system has allowed us to meet our target of increased production with no increase in labour. We now have peace of mind knowing we have a quality system that will meet our needs for many years to come.

A great team of people to work with.

Peter Byers, CEO of Cottonsoft

ScottPHS took the time to understand the process that we wanted automated and they worked with the upstream machine suppliers to understand how their equipment would integrate with the proposed solution. Alternate solutions were offered and the ultimate design was something that all parties took ownership in. Their work was of a very high standard and our projects have always been delivered on time and within budget

The after sales support has been extremely good and as our business has grown we have been able to rely on ScottPHS for options to adapt our palletising solutions to fit new requirements.

A good bunch of blokes, who know what they are doing and are interested in designing and building the best solution. They aren’t just about selling you a machine. We regard them as part of our team.
