Regeldokument Degree project Ergonomic concept solution -For cartoning machine Authors: Hannes Borg, Kim Bergström Supervisor: Marianne Gille Linnaeus university, Department of Mechanical Engineering Examiner: Samir Khoshaba Linnaeus university, Department of Mechanical Engineering External Supervisor: Peter Johnsson, Norden Machinery AB Date: 2014-05-28, Växjö Semester: Spring 14, 15 ECTS Summary The company Norden Machinery AB has a machine named NP1702. This machine has an insufficient solution concerning ergonomics for the operator who controls the machine. The report includes a concept to an improvement for this. The operator is currently bound to complete a stretching and bending movement which when repeated lies over the human bodies comfort zone and are harmful to several of his/her body parts, when refilling the receptacle in the machine with stacks of leaflets. These leaflets are wrapped along with a tube (containing toothpaste, hair gel etc.) into a carton. The report is mainly built on the eight steps for getting design right. When developing the concept, a big aspect regarding ergonomics is included in the report. For this reason, a big theory concerning ergonomics is included. Along with this, a dialogue with a company which has operated the machine was performed. The operators’ health will be improved, because it avoids the stretching movement, every time he/she refills the receptacle with leaflets and will decrease the risk for malfunctioning. With the concept which has been developed, the operator positions a stack of leaflets to an attached fork and then presses a proceed button. A telescope arm driven by compressed air transports the fork towards the receptacle and the leaflets are positioned in to this. The arm then retreats and the system are ready to do the procedure again. III Sammanfattning Företaget Norden Machinery AB har en maskin med namnet NP1702. Denna maskin har en ergonomiskt otillräcklig lösning vad gäller ett rörelsemoment för en operatör som arbetar med maskinen. Rapporten innehåller ett koncept på en förbättring för denna. I nuläget måste operatören som arbetar med maskinen sträcka sig, när denne fyller på en behållare med informationsblad. En av dessa manualer blir hoppackad med en tub (tandkräm, hårgelé eller dylikt) i en kartong. Rapporten bygger huvudsakligen på de åtta stegen för ”Getting design right”. En stor åtanke på ergonomi är innefattad i utvecklandet av konceptet. Med anledning av detta är ergonomisk teori en viktig del av rapporten. För att få en större förståelse över problemet, genomfördes även ett samtal med ett företag som arbetat med maskinen. Hälsan för operatören kommer att förbättras samtidigt minskas risken för felhantering eftersom operatören har bättre kontroll över processen, för att denne slipper ett långt, utsträckt lyft varje gång denne skall återfylla behållaren med manualer. Med konceptet som rapporten bygger på lägger operatören en hög med manualer på en tillhörande gaffel och trycker sedan på en knapp. En teleskopsarm driven med tryckluft transporterar sedan gaffeln mot behållaren och manualerna placeras i denna. Armen drar sig tillbaka och systemet är redo att utföra proceduren igen. IV Abstract The machine NP1702 has an insufficient solution concerning ergonomically soundness. The report includes a concept to an improvement for this. Currently, the operator is bound to complete a stretching movement which is harmful to several of his/her body parts. To avoid this movement is mainly what the report is focusing on. NP 1702, GUK, fork, leaflets, telescope arm, receptacle, noise reducing lid, sound ergonomics. V Preface This is the final phase in the bachelor of Mechanical engineering program at Linnaeus University in Växjö, Sweden. The project comprises 15 ESCT. Norden Machinery AB in Kalmar provided this degree project. It was with great joy and enthusiasm we took on this project and hopefully our work will be of gain for Norden Machinery AB and for ourselves in the coming years as engineers. We owe Norden Machinery AB many thanks for this opportunity, especially Peter Johnsson, our supervisor at the company. He has been very helpful and always answered our mails and calls. Another thank you is owed to our supervisor at the University, Marianne Gille. She has helped us a lot with finding good literature and has given us good feedback on our ideas and problems. Mr. John Dowson at GSK in England also has our gratitude. He took time out of his busy schedule and answered our questions. A final thanks goes to our families and friends for their patience and understanding during many long nights of hard work. - Thank You!

  • Packaging Equipment and Machinery
    PACKAGING EQUIPMENT AND MACHINERY Packaging can be defined as "the science, art and technology of enclosing or protecting products for distribution, storage, sale, and use". Packaging also refers to "the process of design, evaluation, and production of packages". Packaging can be regarded as different types. The single item such as a bottle containing soft drink can be regarded as the item that a consumer would purchase known as "primary" packaging. Where as a pack of bottles, shrink wrapped, would be regarded as the transport package used within the distribution chain is known as "secondary" packaging. Primary packaging is the material that first contains the product. This is usually the package which is in direct contact with the contents. For example, this could be a bottle or carton for liquids; or a packet for various snack foods. The secondary packaging is outside the primary packaging, perhaps used to group primary packages together. For example, this could be a tray and shrink film. Secondary packaging is mainly used as a means of transporting the primary packs or product from producer to retailer. This is usually removed and recycled once the pack has reached its destination. Secondary packaging can also be retained to enable the product to be purchased in bulk. The choice of packaging machinery for packaging can depend on various situations. These can include available budget, payback period, integration, associated running costs, machine technology and available floor space. Packaging machines can be of the following general types: Cartoning Cleaning Closing Coding and Marking Conveyors Filling Food Processing Form Fill Seal Handling Inspection Labelling Packing Pharmaceutical Processing Wrapping These machine types are very general indeed.

  • FF6 – SF6 Dosing Machine
    FF6 – SF6 Dosing Machine Machine Features Six-head linear dosing/wrapping machine designed for the packaging of triangular portions of processed cheese. The working process starts with the formation of the wrapping shells from reel- fed heat sealing aluminium foil for subsequent filling of processed cheese in the dosing station of the machine. A lid of heat-sealing aluminium foil is placed inside the filled shell which is then folded over the lid and sealed by heated pressure pads. Each portion includes an internal ‘consumer-friendly’ easy opening tear strip and an external paper brand label. The portions are finally gathered in the required bundle configuration for subsequent feeding to the SF6 automatic box filling machine. SF6: Automatic cartoning machine for triangular portions of processed cheese in round boxes suited to the required bundle configuration (4 layers max). The closed boxes are taken automatically from the magazine opened and the lids separated from the bottoms. The bottom is placed over the formed bundle of portions, capsized and fed to the outfeed belt where it receives the lid for closing. Multi-layer configurations include a cardboard layer divider between layers and optional advertising leaflet.
