Demands on production efficiency and automation are continuously increasing in all industries. FlexLink are taking small products production lines to new heights with the launch of the X45 and X45e conveyor platforms.

X45 is the new, compact conveyor platform which offers easy integration with machines and space efficient filling, production and packaging lines. Thanks to careful design, product handling is gentle and stable, contributing to high product quality standards and high line efficiency. The X45 design offers a long service life, low noise level and easy engineering.

“The compact boundary dimensions and the ability to run in bends allow new opportunities to automate sophisticated flows in a simpler way than before. The X45 conveyor runs very smoothly which is crucial e.g. in transporting standing vials in the pharmaceutical industry” comments Fredrik Boberg, Head of Innovation Management at FlexLink.

X45e is the intelligent platform for automated processes such as assembly, controlled filling and samples analysis. Sophisticated 24 V drive units and puck handling modules with embedded controls, simplifies controls engineering and enables high line efficiency. Power consumption is very low due to the efficient PM motor and transmission. All is RFID prepared, facilitating track & trace and automated QA capability.

“The X45e solutions with embedded controls and efficient PM motors open up new possibilities to make highly efficient production lines in an easier way than before. This is the first step in this direction from FlexLink” concludes Fredrik Boberg.

FlexLink launches a new offer for efficient crate handling systems to the bakery industry. Creates are commonly used in bakeries for the transport of baked bread. With a complete offer for conveying solutions, engineering and control knowledge, FlexLink has the tools for efficient handling and internal distribution of crates within the bakeries.

As a recognized provider of turn key solutions to the biscuit, cookie and cracker industry, FlexLink has decided to offer complete turn key solutions for handling of empty and full crates also to the bakery industry.

“We have been offering crate handling systems for several years but mainly for the packed meat industry. After our experiences, mainly in Germany, we have now created an offer and are launching it to the European bakery industry. Based on our knowledge of crate handling and our experience we have created a really interesting offer.” says Paolo Pusceddu, CTO of FlexLink AB.

FlexLink’s offer starts with consultation where the bakery needs and requirements are matched against the actual situation, where line concept and solutions are discussed. The offer includes hardware, software and after sales service - from the reception area of dirty crates to the shipment area of full crates. FlexLink’s thorough experience in conveying, elevation, divert/merge and accumulation make their solutions reliable and efficient. In addition to this, the offer includes stackers, de-stackers, sorters and pack stations.

“FlexLink offers production logistics solutions, including the integration of third party equipment. In the bakery industry we have with success integrated crate washing and drying machines, and also robot solutions for the handling piles of clean creates.” adds Paolo Pusceddu.

With the launch and the following campaign throughout Europe, FlexLink is now promoting this offer to the bakery industry on a broad scale. In parallel, FlexLink also re-launches the offer to manufacturers of cookies, biscuits and crackers, where high speed, accumulation capacity and dynamic and gentle handling are key factors.
