In the packaging market, be it primary or secondary, it's critical that products stay in pristine condition while keeping a high throughput. AmbaFlex spirals are known for their longevity and careful handling of goods while maintaining blazing speeds. Even multi-rows, portal functions, cooling or accumulating is possible with the proprietary technology of AmbaFlex.
Primary packages come in many shapes and sizes but their versatility and sensitivity make them prone to possible damage. Because AmbaFlex spiral conveyors are known for the level of quality they deliver and their versatile functionality, they are widely used in primary packing. This ranges from vertical transport between floors to creating portal passages, as well as the cooling and dynamic accumulating of products. Compared to the usual modular plastic conveyor belts, the AmbaFlex conveyor belt is much stronger due to its steel base chain which can be extended over a 100 metres of belt.
In end-of-line packaging, there are two critical aspects for keeping the whole process running smoothly. First is the line availability; because if the end of the line stops, the complete upstream packaging and processing needs to stop. Second is a clever layout; as most palletizers need to be closer to the dispatch area than to the packing line, creative three-dimensional solutions are required. AmbaFlex offers solutions that include both these critical aspects as well as high performance and low cost of ownership.
One of the most demanding secondary product flows is bottle packs. High speeds, high loads, multiple rows and new eco-packs make these lines a challenge for most elevator suppliers. But not for AmbaFlex. The high loads can be comfortably dealt with thanks to the Triple-E belt guide. This true rolling friction technology reduces driving power to a minimum, allowing extreme elevations and high loads while consuming the least amount of energy. It's not just the internal technology, but also the extended range of products and configuration that exactly matches the market's needs and makes AmbaFlex the preferred choice. In fact, even back in the nineties, AmbaFlex was already THE solution for shrink packs, crates, and trays of liquid containers.
Both single file and mass flow transportation of liquids is made easy by AmbaFlex spiral technology. Ready to handle any type of material, shape or size. No matter if its PET, HDPE or glass, cylindrical, rectangular, reverse tapered or irregularly curved. Our spirals are the preferred choice of many of the industries leaders.
Liquid containers are usually transported single file, especially in applications such as winemaking, dairy, distilled, sports drinks and sodas. These containers are made from carton packs, PET, HDPE or glass. The shape can be cylindrical, rectangular, reverse tapered or irregularly curved. Preventing mass flow is a trend, as it requires a great deal of space in re-single lining of the flow. It is also the preferred method if the right handling solutions are available. Many single file flows remain on ground level. Height differences require long lengths due to instability, but usually there is no floor space available for this. Instability or sensitive handling also requires special options, but good solutions for elevation, accumulation or buffering have not been available in the past. AmbaFlex enjoys taking on special challenges such as belt lubrication, glass breakage and hot filling. We offer an extensive range of elevator and accumulation solutions.
Handling the mass flow of bottles and cans presents some well-known challenges in filling line layouts. Mass flow accumulation tables and single liners take up a lot of space and can become problematic when operators need to move efficiently along multiple filling, labeling and packing stations. Making use of the 3rd dimension, or using multiple stories in a mass fill line, has been impossible for a very long time. Even lowering empty cans or bottles down from a depalletizer presented a difficult challenge. However, AmbaFlex's development of the first spiral conveyor that was able to handle mass flow products opened up many new possibilities in the efficient use of space in liquid container handling.
AmbaFlex offers a wide variety of solutions for the logistics market. Handling products like single items, totes, polybags, cartons, luggage and many more. Whether you need to elevate, accumulate or convey, our experience together with our technological advantage ensures you will always have the best solution possible.
The world-wide explosive growth of e-commerce is causing a real stir within the logistic chain. The entire chain of delivery, storage, single-item order picking and overnight-express delivery is leading to a considerable upscaling of capacity. E-commerce characterized by a huge product variety, short lead time and high speeds. The AmbaFlex SpiralVeyor has been a huge success within the distribution branch for more than 20 years, for example, in package-delivery hubs. AmbaFlex owes it considerable advantage to its experience with handling high-speed, large and small product flows such as golf sets, game controllers or even grocery items. The SVe can deal with all kinds of single items and parcels, whether they are large boxes, polybags, blisters or any item you can think of that's home-delivered. With band widths of up to 1,200 mm and a completely sealed conveyor belt surface, it is suitable for almost any item imaginable.
Warehousing and order picking systems are constantly being developed to become more efficient. This is because of an increase in the number of SKU's and the variety of their sizes, coupled with a growing number of customers that demand even shorter delivery times and 365 days a year service. Automated high bay storage solutions and multi-level pick stations have one thing in common; the products need to be delivered at workstations, sorters or docking doors quickly within the given space constraints. Connecting different stages in distribution, such as storage picking, sorting, packing and commissioning requires unique solutions that add value to the whole process. In some cases, products are just one type of plastic container whereas another time they can be a variety of products including cartons. A demanding task but one which AmbaFlex provides numerous solutions for.
New trends in retail, such as a fast-growing number of SKU's and reduced in-shop storage, combined with an increased need for automation to keep costs down, require smart solutions in distribution centers. All these new systems in mixed case handling and palletization have one thing in common - the need for vertical merging and sortation. The speed of order-release modules and other high end picking solutions require a quick way to replete and deliver. AmbaFlex Spiral solutions have played a crucial part in these sorts of warehouses since the beginning of this century. After AmbaFlex invented the spiral-merge solution more than a decade ago, and the spiral sorter after that, AmbaFlex became a household name in this industry.
AmbaFlex has its roots in print finishing. After the invention of the modern spiral conveyor in the late nineties, the first industry to use the SpiralVeyor was the print industry. At the end-of-line newspaper printing (mail room), binding and stitching lines, continuity is essential to success.
