Case Study: Waimica Servo Gearbox Solution for Automated Biscuit Conveying and Counting Packaging Systems

2021-03-02 Waimica

Industry Challenges and Pain Points Analysis

Automated biscuit conveying and counting packaging systems are essential in modern food manufacturing for achieving high production efficiency, product consistency, and compliance with stringent hygiene standards. These systems typically consist of conveyor belts, indexing mechanisms, robotic arms for picking and placing, and automated counting and packaging units. The trend in this industry is toward higher throughput, increased flexibility, and integration with Industry 4.0 technologies for real-time monitoring and optimization.

However, many manufacturers face critical bottlenecks in system performance due to limitations in the drive and transmission components. These include:

  • Insufficient torque density in gearboxes leading to frequent wear and breakdowns
  • Low precision and response time affecting counting accuracy and system synchronization
  • Large footprint and non-modular designs complicating integration and maintenance
  • Limited adaptability to harsh environments such as high temperature and high humidity
  • Short service life due to poor material selection and insufficient lubrication systems
  • Inconsistent performance with servo motors due to mismatched input compatibility and dynamic response

Key Role of Gearboxes and Technical Requirements

In automated biscuit conveying and counting packaging systems, the gearbox plays a central role in power transmission and motion control. It must meet several core performance requirements:

  • High torque density: To ensure robust power transfer in compact systems.
  • High transmission accuracy: Essential for precise counting and packaging operations.
  • Fast response time: Critical for synchronization with high-speed robotics and sensors.
  • Compatibility with servo motors: For seamless integration with advanced motion control systems.
  • Compact structure: To optimize space usage and system integration.
  • High environmental adaptability: Must function reliably in challenging production environments, such as high temperature and high hygiene zones.
  • Long service life and low maintenance: To reduce downtime and increase system ROI.
