For Shazhou Youhuang Wine Industry, Shanghai Lian successfully designed and delivered two high-speed yellow wine production lines with capacities of 16,000 and 24,000 barrels per hour. The entire process, including empty bottle unstacking, pressure-free conveying, filling, labeling, spray cooling, robot boxing, grouping, and palletizing, is covered by these production lines, which combine sophisticated automated machinery and intelligent control systems. By employing the most advanced automation technology available, we have greatly increased production intelligence and efficiency, establishing a new standard for intelligent production in the yellow wine sector.
● Full-process automation, efficient and stable operation
The production line starts with the unstacking of empty bottles, using a high-speed unstacker to smoothly convey the empty bottles to the conveying system, ensuring that the bottle bodies are undamaged. The conveying system for empty and filled bottles adopts a flexible and pressure-free design, adaptable to different bottle types, avoiding bottle body collisions, ensuring the bottle bodies are undamaged, and guaranteeing product quality. After the wine bottles enter the spray cooling tunnel, they meet the product process requirements within a specific time, ensuring the stability of the yellow wine quality. After labeling, the products are precisely diverted by a servo diverter and then packed by FANUC robots in a high-speed following manner, with precise actions and the ability to adapt to multiple packaging specifications.
The finished products after packaging are grouped and coordinated by two ABB robots, which not only improves the production line's cycle time but also significantly enhances the visual appeal of the entire line. Finally, the FANUC robot performs high-precision palletizing. The entire line achieves data communication through PLC and industrial internet technology, enabling real-time monitoring of production capacity, equipment status, and fault warnings, significantly reducing the need for manual intervention.
● Technical highlights: Flexibility, Customization, Intelligence
