Enhancing Productivity at Knauf Insulation with Vidaco’s Conveyor Upgrade

In a recent project for Knauf Insulation Hrvatska in Novi Marof, Vidaco has undertaken a critical upgrade of the existing conveyor systems that are essential for the alignment and packaging of stone wool products.

The initiative involves replacing two outdated roller conveyors with advanced belt conveyors. This upgrade addresses the unique challenges presented by the stone wool products, particularly the need for improved grip and precise alignment to ensure a more reliable packaging process. The existing roller conveyors were not providing the optimal level of efficiency due to the nature of the products, leading to the decision to implement belt conveyors that promise a significant enhancement in product handling.

This improvement is anticipated to streamline the flow of packages, reducing downtime, and enhancing the overall reliability of the packaging process.

Technical Challenges and Solutions

One of the main challenges in this project was the need to remove the existing conveyors and install the new system within the constraints of the current production line setup. The operation required meticulous planning and execution to minimize disruption and integrate the new conveyors seamlessly.

Benefits of the Upgrade

The transition to belt conveyors is expected to result in a substantial reduction in product slippage, leading to a quicker and more accurate alignment process. This improvement is anticipated to streamline the flow of packages, reducing downtime, and enhancing the overall reliability of the packaging process. Moreover, the increased efficiency is likely to boost the production line’s capacity, directly contributing to higher productivity and better utilization of resources.
