Bottling line upgrade

The Walsall Engineering Group recently upgraded an existing bottling line for John Dewar & Sons, part of the Bacardi Group in Glasgow, which has resulted in record levels of output.

Walsall Engineering was contacted regarding plans to modify the existing bottling line and introduce a more up to date filling machine as well as a higher specification case sealer.

Working closely as a team, the line infeed was repositioned and simplified mechanically to create space for a larger filling machine. This also allowed some existing bottle handling issues throughout the line to be engineered out by changing guide rail profiles, slat chain conversion and fitting additional drive units.

A new control system and up grades were completed to the empty bottle conveyors and filler, providing easy access for operatives to make adjustments to meet future changes and also to meet current legislation.
