An Illinois-based global specialty pharmaceutical and medication delivery company recently benefited from the purchase of a custom conveying and sortation system from Dynamic Conveyor.

The company manufactures various plastic parts that are used in many of the medical products it produces. In the manufacturing process of one particular small medical plastic part, the company was faced with a conveyance challenge. Thirty to forty hot plastic parts connected to long, stick-like runners exit each injection molding machine at a time. Prior to packaging, the small plastic parts need to be separated from the runners and conveyed downstream. Historically, employees were responsible for separating the parts from the runners, which required a considerable amount of time.

Dynamic Conveyor developed a novel solution for the application utilizing three DynaCon modular conveyors. Since installing the Dynamic Conveyor solution, the customer has significantly reduced their labor requirements. Employees no longer need to manually separate the parts from the runners. In addition, “we were able to shave one second off of the press cycle time, and so far this has resulted in a $90,000 savings attributable to increased output,” said the Engineering Manager.
