Cadbury has placed a £1.2M order with CKF Systems for an automated robot palletising system for its Sheffield factory. The system being installed will convey cases from eight production lines, running at up to 22 cases per minute, through to three robot cells and a pallet handling system that includes pallet dispensing and a high speed stretch wrapper.

The Bulk-X-Change bulk materials heat exchanger from Coperion Waeschle in Germany can now be integrated into pneumatic conveying systems. This improves heat transfer, allowing the combination of conveying and heat exchange within one system.

Conveyor Systems Limited (CSL) has designed, manufactured, and installed a pizza handling system for a leading producer and distributor of fresh chilled foods. The system will transfer individual or stacked film-wrapped pizza bases between high and low-care food quality areas.
