Empty hook conveyor systems

Efficient Handling of Empty Hooks – An Underestimated Opportunity for Cost Savings

The handling of empty hooks offers significant potential for cost savings. The process begins at the loading dock, including the counting and sorting of the hooks.
This is followed by internal transport and systematic storage, right through to the on-demand and timely provision of the hooks in the slaughtering process.

Your benefits at a glance:

• Significant cost savings:
  The savings in personnel costs are considerable.
• High availability:
  The hooks are reliably available at all times.
• Optimized hygiene:
  The risk of contamination from unclean, manually transported hooks is completely eliminated.
• Fully automated operation:
  Control via modern PLC technology ensures a smooth and efficient process.
• Easy operation:
  Operating parameters such as cycle times, waiting times, and alarm functions can be individually adjusted without programming knowledge.
• Space savings & organization:
  No more hook carts in production areas—the hooks are stored compactly within the system and do not block valuable floor space.
• Reduced maintenance costs:
  Damage to equipment caused by hook cart traffic is eliminated, saving on repair costs.
• High flexibility:
  The empty hook conveyor systems can be customized and integrated into existing facilities with limited space.
• Quick return on investment:
  The investment typically pays for itself within about 2 years.
