NCC Automated Systems Delivers Custom Flexible Triple-Tier Case Handling Conveyor System
Engineered for High-Throughput Case Handling, Buffering & Multi-Level Product Flow
NCC Automated Systems, a provider of sanitary conveying and custom automation solutions for the food, beverage, packaging, and consumer goods industries, has successfully delivered a fully customized flexible triple-tier case handling conveyor system designed to maximize throughput, improve product flow, and optimize facility footprint efficiency.
Built specifically around the customer’s operational requirements, the integrated conveyor solution combines empty case handling, multi-tier accumulation, zero tangent radius (ZTR) conveying, and zero back pressure buffering technologies into a scalable, high-performance system architecture.
The project demonstrates NCC’s ability to engineer custom conveying systems that adapt to evolving production demands while maintaining smooth, reliable product handling across multiple stages of operation.
Complete Conveying Workflow Designed for Efficiency
The custom system was engineered to support a complete case handling workflow across six integrated operational stages:
Stage 1 — Empty Case Handling
The system begins with automated empty case handling utilizing a gravity chute design that ensures smooth, consistent case entry while minimizing jams and operator intervention.
Stage 2 — Flexible Case Conveying
Cases are transported using a combination of flexible belt, roller, and hybrid conveyor configurations engineered to maintain stable and reliable product movement throughout the line.
Stage 3 — Triple-Tier Throughput Optimization
A custom multi-tier conveyor configuration increases production throughput without expanding the customer’s existing floor space. The elevated triple-tier design enables additional packing and product flow capacity while maximizing operational efficiency within a compact footprint.
Stage 4 — Zero Tangent Radius (ZTR) Conveying
Tight-radius conveyor layouts were implemented using NCC’s ZTR conveying approach, allowing efficient product movement through constrained facility layouts while maintaining smooth product transfers.
Stage 5 — Zero Back Pressure Buffering
Integrated zero back pressure roller conveyor sections provide controlled buffering and accumulation, helping maintain continuous production flow while reducing product contact and line disruption.
Stage 6 — Fully Customized System Integration
The completed system was engineered specifically around the customer’s production environment, scalability requirements, and operational goals, providing a flexible platform for future expansion and line optimization.
