The oval-shaped track of the XTS is tilted by 45 deg. relative to the plane on which pucks are being conveyed. In this closeup, three of the 30 movers are shown right after the point where they’ve delivered their pucks to the capping station and are about to travel along the bottom portion of the track to each pick up another filled bottle in its puck.
Speed Meets Small Footprint Thanks to XTS
A clever implementation of the eXtended Transport System moves filled bottles from filling to capping stations at 150/min yet consumes minimal floorspace.
