CONT

... once the items have entered the system, the logic of the model is identical. An item enters the system via the appropriate input conveyor and is diverted to one of the output conveyors. The appropriate output conveyor is determined using the output station assignment list. The item travels along this output conveyor until reaching the correct output station. It is diverted at its output station and then is destroyed.

CONT

Empty boxes are placed by hand on to the input conveyor and automatically queued and indexed forward one at a time to the mould machine unload point. Once a predetermined quantity of mouldings have been loaded into the box a signal is sent to the moulding machine to inhibit its cycle while the full box is automatically transferred to the output conveyor and an empty box moved into place, this takes 5 seconds.
