A division of Kerry foods who extracts syrups from various fruits for use as food ingredients needed to consolidate production from two to one site.
The challenge
A robust and reliable solution was demanded to move intermediate bulk containers on wheels between two levels. Working three shifts per 24 hours for six days a week with each shift carrying out a wash down, the environment is continually wet.
The solution
Following several design briefs and consultations, Translyft specified a triple action lift table & integrated guarding constructed from 304 stainless steel. Controlled via a plc, the operators load the lift at the ground level, close the shutters and send the lift to the upper level with "one push" controls. During unloading and reloading at the upper level, the lift "auto levels" to the mezzanine deck for a smooth transfer of the IBCs.
