Plastic Handle High Speed

Orange Bucket High Speed Handle Fitting Machine OB2000-P for plastic handles

The Orange Bucket high speed handle fitting machine OB2000-P has the following characteristics:

Capacity of 1500 up to 2000 buckets per hour (cycle time 2,5 seconds).

Bukcet size ranging from 1 litres to 15 litres.

Suitable for all kinds of shaped buckets

Suitable for flat or T-shaped handles

Coming out of the injection molding machine the buckets will be transported into the handle fitting machine. They will be positioned on a turntable which rotates in a stepped way to do its job step by step.

First the bucket will be rotated in the right orientation for the handle to be fitted.

Depending on the type of handle these can be fed manually (or by robot) into a buffer.

An elevating unit will take the handles out of the bin and feed it to a unit which will singulate them. The knob position will be checked and if necessary the handle will be turned over to put the knob in the right position to be fitted.

Then the handle will be gripped by the mounting unit which will bend and fit the handle onto the bucket.

Thereafter the handle will be swept away towards a pre-set direction around the bucket rim.

At the end the buckets will be transported to the stacker, stacked and subsequently will be transported out of the machine on a roller conveyor.


Some of the advantages Orange Bucket machines offer you:
The machines have a very open structure in order to achieve full accessibility for an easy product change rebuild or maintenance.

The control system works with a HMI screen with pre-set programs which enables the operator to switch very easily and quick.

The machine can be run step-by –step for ease of setting it up.

A comprehensive and unique diagnostic system provides a clear actual state of the machine. This system can report a maintenance need or can offer maintenance engineers a very clear trouble shooting aid which on its turn leads to less downtime.

By means of this control system the O.E.E. (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) of the machine can also be monitored intensively which helps you to detect possible causes for reduced cycle time in the process.
