Cannon Equipment Design Capabilities
Whether you need a single piece of equipment or a complete material handling system, Cannon has the engineering resources to help you achieve your objectives for additional growth and profits.
Our expertise and full range services include design, layout, fabrication, and installation, of automated equipment and systems for handling newspaper, dairy, bakery, poultry, and other consumer products from the packaging line to the point-of-purchase
State-of-the-Art manufacturing facilities allow us to achieve precise tolerances and consistent quality with every single project, from the production of standard equipment to the development of custom designed machinery.
A full time staff of electrical engineers and programming specialists will ensure that your system and equipment will perform efficiently and reliably.
Service and installation technicians are located at Cannon manufacturing sites throughout the country. These individuals are readily accessible 24 hours a day if you should ever require emergency parts or service.
Application and Equipment Engineering
Along with our systems engineering services, we design and fabricate many of the pieces of equipment typically used in a material handling system. As a result, we are fully committed to making the system operable, not only from a design point-of-view, but also from the aspect of product performance.
Automated Stack Sortation & Handling
Stack accumulation systems take conventional coolers to the next highest level of automation. Cases are conveyed on stacks from the filling room and assigned to lanes in the accumulation channels, providing buffer storage between production and order picking.
When you work with Cannon you can be confident that we have the resources and expertise to provide the best possible solution for your operations. Call us before you begin making plans for your next material handling project, and let us help you achieve your objectives for additional growth and profits.
Automated Cart Loading
Cannon has pioneered a number of cart-based product distribution systems in the dairy, newspaper, and poultry industries with automatic cart and dolly loaders which provide further efficiencies in handling products shipped on wheels
High Rise Storage & Retrieval
Flow-through racks provide a high-density buffer for over 4,800 carts and dollies that are indexed through the storage channels on a first-in, first-out basis, ensuring proper rotation of dated product. The system cuts labor costs, reduces delivery errors, and speeds truck turn-around.
In-Floor Conveyor Systems
The layout of this cooler matched the dairy’s order form and provides first-in, first-out storage and retrieval. It allows better organization and more efficient flow of product in and out of the cooler with 26 tractor-trailer loads shipped in an eight hour period.
Cart Handling and Accumulation System
Automated cart handling systems provide buffer storage and dynamic linkage to other automated equipment such as cart loaders, and washers, and multiple cart storage lanes. Lanes in the accumulation system are available for immediate access to final production runs or can be used for temporary storage of advance product.
