Denesting Pneumatics | Plastic Scoop Handling

Watch close or you just might miss it!

How can we custom engineer a solution to make the boring...well...innovative? At Morrison Container Handling Solutions, that's an opportunity we love designing!

In this application, our customer needed to denest a long stack of plastic scoops into powder-filled bins that roll along on a conveyor. The catch? They move SLOW. This meant, that until our engineering group was on the project, one person stood all day long, dropping in a scoop every minute.

Our pneumatic/mechanical design automated the denesting process.

How It Works:
Designed to accept an operator feed of stacks of cups, separate, index and feed one cup into each bucket, a pneumatic brake controls the feed and a mechanical/pneumatic escapement releases one cup into a bucket. Photoeye/timer is used to send the bucket location and provide feedback to the pneumatics, providing one perfectly executed scoop drop per bucket, each time.

Watch how our mechanical and electrical teams collaborated to bring together a unique approach to denesting without operator operation.
