Le Nature: Lane combining on beverage line
At this bottler of flavored or enhanced waters, sports drinks, fitness waters, teas, juices, and other New Age beverages, an overhead three-to-one air conveyor/combiner sends bottles in a single file to the filler block.
An automated gating system with pneumatics from Festo responds to signals from a programmable logic controller to smoothly and efficiently combine the three lanes into one.
