Intralox also provides conditioning solutions and has heavily invested in research and development to launch groundbreaking technologies that enhance productivity for food producers. One success story involves a New Zealand apple packer who increased throughput by 48% with the help of Intralox’s ARB Switch technology.
Golden Bay Fruit, a packer of apples in New Zealand, faced capacity issues due to a bottleneck caused by a slow and unreliable slat switch system. Intralox’s ARB Switch technology was identified as the solution to increase capacity and offer flexibility in diverting product for manual palletizing. The installation of the ARB Switch resulted in a smooth operation with minimal unplanned downtime and easier maintenance.
Overall, collaboration between Golden Bay Fruit and Intralox’s specialists led to the successful implementation of a tailored solution that met the packer’s capacity targets and operational needs. The packer was pleased with the technical assistance provided by the Intralox team and expressed interest in furthering their relationship.
