High Speed Automation
 

Demand for higher machine speeds requires composite technologies for efficiency

Challenge

Packaging Snacks Efficiently

Solution

High Speed Automation with using low inertia composites 

Details

Millions of potato chips snacks are consumed each day. How can man or machine support this level of consumption? Man can't but machine can! Through automation millions of snacks are produced each day. The demand for higher machine speeds has surpassed the capabilities of standard steel and aluminum materials. Low inertia high strength composite materials are allowing machines to be capable of high speeds yet be gentle enough to prevent any damage to the products they package.
