At this years PPMA show, held 26th -27th September, Kensal decided to exhibit something a little different for the standard static display, or machine in a box exhibits shown by others, and construct a scaled down bottling line.  The challenge was to display the key components all within the confinds of a 12mx4m stand. On display we squeezed in a magnetic matt top conveyor bend, a pressureless combiner, accumulation table, roller, modular, slat and LPB conveyors, running 500ml PET bottles, kindly supplied by Lucozade Ribena Suntory.  To prevent upsetting our neigbours we limited the speeds though the S7 Siemens PLC and 17 SEW  drive motors to approximately 400 bottles per minute, but in the real world and with longer sections speeds of up to 1200 Bottles per minute are perfectly achieveable

Not content with the bottling line, we felt that the area in the centre could be utilised, so we manufactured a pack divider, suitable for seamlessly seperating boxes, packs or cases.
