modules speed bottle laning - Jan 2007 Packaging
Digest
Hartness Int., Inc. (www.hartness.com), Greenville, SC, is one
company that intimately understands the critical nature of packaged-goods

line. Called the GlobalLaner 2260, this laner's ambitious design
called for a linear belt-drive module with an acceleration rate

Breakthrough
Solutions
- Jan 2007 US Industry Today
Innovative R&D is Hartness International’s recipe
for success in manufacturing durability, reliability, and longevity
into its bottling conveyor systems. When things go
awry in a bottling operation, it can resemble the famous conveyor-line
scene from “I Love Lucy.” But when life imitates
art on your production line, it is no laughing matter. Troublesome
labelers break, run out of glue or run out of labels. When this
happens and the filler continues to operate, what happens to
your production?
