A production line, no matter what industry we talk about, involves a sequence of processes through which the product passes from accumulation to being ready to dispatch. Each stage of the production line contributes to the assembly, packaging, and refinement of the product. This is why it’s important to pick and choose the machines and materials that make up your production line, as they can make or break the efficiency, reliability, and quality of your product. One such machine is the rotary table…
Rotary tables, also known as accumulation stations of food production tables in the conveyor context, play an essential role in optimising these processes and in supercharging your production line. There are several kinds of rotary tables available in the market, including automated rotary assembly lines that are revolutionising mass production in the manufacturing industry. At Asmech Systems Ltd., we utilise our extensive experience, in designing and supplying rotary tables that are perfectly tailored to your production plant’s specific needs. With 25 years of time spent in the industry, we pride ourselves on our customisable solutions that enhance your production process.
Rotary tables are typically positioned at the beginning or end of product lines. Conveyors transport products onto these tables, where operators can then pack them or move them to pallets or totes. This strategic placement allows rotary tables to play a crucial role in streamlining operations and boosting productivity.
Key benefits of introducing rotary tables to your production process
Enhanced Efficiency: One of the biggest challenges in any production line is managing downtime and bottlenecks. Downtime can occur due to machine maintenance, product jams, or operator interventions. Bottlenecks often happen when the production pace of one section is faster or slower than another, causing a pile-up of products and inefficiencies in the workflow.
Rotary tables address these issues effectively by acting as a buffer that absorbs fluctuations in production rates. When there is a sudden influx of products, the rotary table can temporarily hold them until the downstream processes catch up. Conversely, if the downstream processes slow down, the rotary table ensures that the upstream processes do not need to stop. This balancing act reduces the likelihood of bottlenecks and minimises overall downtime, leading to smoother and more efficient production.
Additional packing time: These tables are renowned for providing operators with extra time to pack products. This additional time can significantly reduce the pressure on operators, allowing them to perform their tasks more accurately and comfortably.
Versatile functionality: Rotary tables can be customised with various features such as cut-outs, infeed plates, and product guides to meet specific production needs. At Asmech, we offer a range of customisation options to enhance the functionality of your rotary table.
Durability and reliability: At Asmech, our rotary tables are constructed from high-quality Stainless Steel Grade 304, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. Equipped with SEW Eurodrive motors and isolators, our rotary tables are built to withstand the rigors of continuous operation in demanding environments.
