The Bucket Lid Conveyor is a fully automatic system that de-nests, places and presses lids onto buckets with high precision and stable performance. It provides consistent closing quality for industrial manufacturers and co-packers who run high-volume or multi-format bucket lines.
How the system works
Operators load stacks of lids into Shemesh Automation’s proprietary magazine. The system separates each lid smoothly and prepares it for placement. A dedicated pick-and-place unit positions the lid accurately on each moving bucket.
The upper belt section then applies a controlled pressing force. As a result, the lid locks onto the bucket securely while the conveyor maintains a continuous forward movement. Moreover, the machine can run with or without a carousel infeed. In addition, it supports round, square and rectangular bucket shapes, which increases overall flexibility for mixed production environments.
Key benefits
- Continuous operation with no line stoppages for lid loading.
- Siemens or Allen-Bradley PLC and touchscreen HMI for fast recipe selection and format switching.
- Minimal format parts, which reduces adjustment time during changeovers.
- Lower downtime and reduced operator workload.
- SST304 stainless steel construction suitable for food, chemical and industrial environments.
- Clear diagnostics and alarm history available through the HMI.
- Throughput up to 25 lids per minute, depending on bucket size and layout.
- Magazine capacity of 120–160 lids across four cartridges.
Integration and applications
The Bucket Lid Conveyor integrates easily into new turnkey lines or existing bucket filling and closing systems. Furthermore, its stable design supports viscous foods, sauces, coatings, detergents and construction materials. Consequently, it provides both reliability and repeatability for continuous-duty production.
Co-packers benefit from fast changeovers and predictable closing accuracy. In contrast, industrial plants benefit from long run times and consistent sealing force.
