This system was designed for the pharmaceutical industry after a Horizontal Cartoner. With the containers coming out of the cartoner on their side, it was important that the containers be stood upright prior to the case packing process. Morrison accepts the rectangle cartons lying on their side, and utilize shingle infeed rails to create separation between containers for the timing screws to gain control of the product. Once controlled in the timing screw pockets, Morrison transfers the cartons to an overhead timing screw. This screw works in conjunction with a guide/twist to rotate the carton about the timing screw to stand the product up on its end. Once stood up on its end, the carton is discharged onto the conveyor and sent down stream to the case packer. As you will notice, the carton is always controlled in the timing screw, as Morrison’s philosophy is to always maintain a positive control of the container.
