The TEC Tote Storage System is a truly innovative bulk handling solution. Unlike the traditional palletizing concept, it eliminates non-reusable packing costs such as film, cardboard separators, frames and strapping. If you need a bottle handling solution, you should take a look at the TEC Tote Storage System.
The TEC Tote Storage System provides safe and hygienic storage for plastic materials, it is especially designed to store several bottle formats directly from the injection or blow molding machine and maintains them ready for their transportation and use later on in the production process.
The flexible and innovative solution for plastic bottle handling and storage needs.
The Loading System automatically fills Totes with an exact bottle count. The Unloading System, which can be adjusted according to the filling line’s demand, automatically dumps Totes into a Hopper and feeds plastic product into the unscrambler . TEC Totes have become elementary for the Bulk Storage System. TEC Totes are designed to fit a Standard Trailer Truck Container, Loading Station and/or Unloading Station. Several Tote sizes are available so the System can be customized to the operations particular needs.
The TEC Tote Storage System is composed of three main components:
a) Loading System: TEC Totes are loaded by a TEC inclined conveyor that receives the product from the injection or blow molding machine and conveys the product to the top of the Totes. There, the product is received by a TEC Horizontal Bidirectional Conveyor that deposits the product in each of the Totes, located on each side of the horizontal conveyor.
The Loading system is configured on the Control Panel in order to regulate the conveyor speed and to control the amount of product placed into each Tote.
b) Unloading System: A Tote Dumper or Unloading table empties the Tote into a receiving Hopper that then deposits the bottles onto Tec conveyors that feed them to the unscrambler ( labeling machines, filling, etc.).
c) TEC Totes: TEC has designed several types of Totes especially suited for several bottle sizes and designs.
