Cups are delivered to the Morrison System upside down on a conveyor, then they are turned, stacked, counted for grouping, and discharged in these stacks into the final multi-pack packaging for consumers to purchase or large accounts for mass consumption.
Each system is a full counting and packaging line that runs 375 cups a minute or 22,500 cups an hour, or 540,000 cups a day.
This system stacks aluminum 16 oz. and 20 oz. cups into boxes or bags at 375 cups per minute. The system is flexible to allow counts and container size to change on the same line. Following the success of the initial machines, the customer came back to Morrison to upgrade the machines to run 9 oz. and 12 oz. container sizes. Now, each machine has the ability to run 4 different cup sizes on the same machine with simple changeovers that are easy for operators to perform. This highlights Morrison's adaptive designs that allow for future changes once the machines are in the field.
This system is designed to take cups from an upside down orientation on a Garvey accumulation table to a sideways orientation to be counted into stacks and discharged into these stacks. The stacking assembly features Morrison patented technology
