For Tervis Tumbler Co., a North Venice, FL, maker of insulated, double-walled custom tumblers that keep beverages cold or hot, business is good. So good, that to keep up with its growing volume of orders, the company has had to add precision and efficiency in its manufacturing and packaging operations to keep pace.

Precision is a term often to describe the repetitive, exact, accurate tasks associated with robotic processing. That’s the case with the robotic cells in use at Tervis Tumbler. The plastic beverage cup process now relies on a series of 3200 Series conveyors from Dorner. The conveyors are equipped with precision belt technology to move the inner and outer tumblers into robotic cells for processing. Precision belt technology is practical for drives, indexing, positioning, and heavily loaded belt conveyor applications such as product assembly, manufacturing, and packaging. It’s these conveyors that provide the accurate indexing of the tumblers to ensure smooth, uninterrupted flow of production at Tervis.
