FANUC Robots Extend the Benefits of Stretch Hood System
Keramik Makina
Located at Gebze, 30km east of Istanbul in the Kocaeli province of Türkiye, Keramik Makina is a FANUC system integrator. For over three decades the company has enjoyed considerable success building new machines and systems that help end users achieve better, faster and smoother packaging operations. Keramik specialises in solutions involving processes that include stretch hood systems, palletising, stretch wrapping, strapping, taping and labelling/coding.
Paint Plant Brushes Inefficiency Aside with FANUC Robots
Keramik Makina was tasked with providing a number of automated packing and palletising operations at the paint factory of Polisan Kansai in Dilovasi, Türkiye. The plant fills around 15 tubs of paint (7.5 litres each) for the home decorating market every minute.
Looking to improve the production capacity and quality of its packing and palletising, the company turned to nearby Keramik Makina for assistance. Keramik Makina is a solution partner and system integrator of the world's biggest and most familiar robot manufacturer, FANUC.
Keramik offers high-quality robotic palletising solutions, tailoring each one to the client's specific products and processes. Bringing advanced technology and design together allows the company to solve any palletising task with the highest possible efficiency. In addition, the option to design and manufacture multifunctional tools for the same FANUC robot, makes Keramik an innovative industry competitor.
At the paint factory of Keramik customer Polisan Kansai, FANUC’s purpose-designed M-410𝑖C series four-axis palletising robots see engagement in a variety of high-efficiency tasks. Alongside a number of high-quality palletising operations, these tasks include loading multiple paint tubs to the cap control unit and loading tubs to the positioner unit on the stretch hood line.
Stretch hood applications protect palletised loads from environmental factors such as humidity, dust, rain and sunlight, as well as possible transport damage. A stretch hood is a cost-effective system designed to bring a sustainable approach to packaging and improve productivity. Offering both vertical and horizontal film tension, the machines feature a simple and maintenance-friendly film feed device, vacuum film opening system, encoder-monitored mechanical stretch units and a film applicator.
Some FANUC robots operate in pairs on the same stretch hood and palletising lines, providing perfect harmony and further increasing efficiency. The combination of Ceramic system integration knowledge and FANUC robot technology means Polisan Kansai can now achieve an impressive production capacity of 4000 tons (or 5700 pallets) per day.
