Complete Project Delivery is Can Lines
Engineering’s alternative to the current “Turnkey” project approach.
The main focus of our approach is a quality engineered system that
addresses not only functionality but also other important design issues
such as:
- Operator Ergonomics
- Maintainability
- Operational Efficiency
- Changeover Capability
- Plant and Corporate Standards
- Installation Quality
- Cost Effectiveness
To insure a quality engineered system, we
work with you to understand your business needs and how that drives the
project requirements and constraints.
PROJECT
IMPLEMENTATION
Can Lines
Engineering will provide the following services as part of the “Complete
Project Delivery” process:
- PROJECT MANAGEMENT:
We provide complete project management from the conceptual phase of
the project through commissioning and start-up.
- CONCEPTUAL DESIGN:
Our team has many years of experience in the layout and design of
packaging lines. We will deliver a preliminary layout to verify
feasibility and discuss the various options. This is done to insure
the project goals are met, the highest possible operational
effectiveness is achieved and the solution will be cost effective.
- VENDOR EQUIPMENT SELECTION:
We will work with you to evaluate the options for vendor equipment
and help select the correct equipment for the application. After
the selections are made, we will purchase the equipment directly or
will act as your agent for procurement of the equipment including
performance guarantees and commissioning.
- LINE DESIGN: We
provide the entire line design including packaging, electrical,
process and structural. The design is verified through simulation
to insure that the desired performance can be achieved. Material
flow to and from the line is considered. Operator work areas are
checked for operational friendliness and for compliance with OSHA
ergonomic standards. Maintenance access is verified and changeover
operations are reviewed.
- CONTROLS INTEGRATION:
The controls integration is considered an integral part of the
design and is treated as such. All Can Lines controls engineers
have experience with packaging line controls programming. Our
engineers also have programming experience with the major PLC
hardware and software platforms as well as the most widely used
brands of operator interface software. Our engineers have provided
control and infrastructure network solutions using Ethernet, Control
Net, Device Net, DH+ and Modbus + networks. We work directly with
the machine vendors to provide seamless integration between
equipment and the packaging line control.
- CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT:
The successful and timely startup of a new packaging system is
largely in the hands of the construction management team. Our
construction management team has years of experience in packaging
industry and a track record of very successful projects.
- CONVEYOR DESIGN: We
design and manufacture a full line conveying system including bottle
conveyor, can conveyor, case conveyor, pallet conveyor, elevators/lowerators
and can/bottle twits. We also have facilities to design and
manufacture custom machines as required to meet project
requirements.
- EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION:
We have over forty years of experience in machinery erection,
rigging and plant relocations. We can insure that not only are the
conveyor systems built to a high standard but also that the
installation will be of an equally high quality.
- START-UP & COMMISIONING:
We provide support for line checkout, start-up and commissioning.
- TRAINING: Operator
and maintenance training is an essential part of the long term
success of any operation. Can Lines Engineering provides training
on the operation and maintenance on all non vendor equipment and
coordinates the vendor training provided to the client.
