This tour starts facing the front of the room (look
for the yellow railing) and moves clockwise.
If you look down at the brown conveyor, you are
picking up where we left off the last tour. The full case now passes through
the machine with the yellow cap on it (you can just make this out at the
bottom of the screen as you rotate right). This is the Case Sealer and it
glues the case shut. The case is now ready for the Palletizer which is the
large green machine just behind the small staircase. This machine sets cases
down in patterns of twelve per layer and builds six layers per pallet until
there are 72 cases of beer on one pallet. The pallet is then ready to be
stretch-wrapped and put into the cooler. We will head to cooler after a
quick stop at the Kegger. |
