GOBUS-PT
Do you have products on counter moulds, counter plates or on product carriers and want to transport them as efficiently as possible to your downstream packaging machines? Then our conveying and buffer system for product trays GOBUS-PT is your choice: GOndola BUffer System for Product Trays.
With a high-performance gondola buffer at the heart of the system and a conveying and distribution system that is precisely tailored to your needs, you will enable your production to achieve maximum line efficiency. The systemic decoupling of the two value-added steps of product manufacturing and packaging or further processing allows them to work each under their best possible conditions and this results in combination with the buffer and distribution system in a harmoniously and efficiently coordinated overall system.

Operating Principle
The products from your production line are transferred to the downstream conveyor system on counter moulds, counter plates or by means of product trays and are fed to a gondola buffer at maximum production output.
An automatic loading system groups the incoming counter moulds and feeds the gondolas of the buffer either in cycles or independently of the cycle, depending on the application and requirements.
The gondola design varies in length and width and in the number of its trays depending on the required output, counter mould geometry and the desired buffering capacity.
The filled gondolas are transferred from the buffer infeed towards the buffer discharge on two co-rotating chains. The first-in / first-out principle applies, which ensures that the counter moulds stored first are unloaded first. In this way, the time of the products in the buffer is kept as short as possible.
Basically, the infeed side and the outfeed side of a gondola buffer are functionally separated from each other, i.e. the loading on the infeed side can be done independently of the unloading of the gondolas on the outfeed side and vice versa.
The downstream conveying and distribution system conveys the filled counter moulds to the downstream production section and, thanks to an intelligent system, guarantees that the products are supplied to the various packaging machines as required. This is referred to as product flow regulation. This allows the packaging machines to run in the most uniform and efficient operating condition possible.
After the products have been transferred to the packaging machines, the emptied counter moulds are returned to the processing line, thus ensuring a closed mould cycle. The design of the return section is adapted to the requirements of the overall system setup, if necessary also using the gondola buffer again.
