Is It Possible to Create Smart Solutions for Confined Spaces in Industry?
One of the biggest challenges facing production facilities today is the inefficient use of existing physical space. With increasing production demands, facilities must accommodate more machinery, production lines, and personnel in the same area. This need has become critical, especially in the food and beverage sector.
As Aliş Makina, we approach this problem with practical, innovative and compact line design solutions. From project design to installation, we reshape production lines while keeping space efficiency in mind at every stage. The shaker unit ve sorter systemthat we implemented in the Eker project is a successful example of our approach.
Key Benefits of Compact Line Design
Compact design not only saves space, but also accelerates production flow, reduces energy consumption, and provides easier maintenance. With a production line properly engineered;
- Product flow is optimized,
- Operator access is simplified,
- Work accident risk is reduced,
- Cleaning and maintenance times are shortened,
- Logistics passage areas are freed up.
Aliş Makina's Compact Line Approach:
Each of our customers has different production areas and requirements. Therefore, standard lines instead, site-specific scaled compact systems we develop. Modeling work performed in CAD environment presents the most suitable layout and routing scenarios.
Eker Sorter Line: The Clearest Indicator of Compactness
For Eker Dairy, we developed vial separator sorter systemis a project that should be showcased as an example in terms of space utilization. Despite the company's production facility having very limited floor space, routing to two separate shrink machines was required.
Applied solution:
- Intralox ARB technology sorter routing was provided with,
- a standard 15-meter line only in 5 meters was resolved,
- Product accumulation was prevented with automatic accumulation conveyor,
- Operator intervention was minimized.
As a result, both space savings were achieved and production speed was increased. This system created a transformation that directly impacted the overall efficiency of Eker's production facility.
Space-Saving Flow Arrangement with Shaker Unit
Another solution we used in the Eker project, product direction with shaker unit It did. This system enabled the positioning of PET bottles, allowing bottles to pass to the filling line in an upright manner.
System Features:
- conveyor line raised to 5 meters height
- shaker section that regulates product flow through vibration
- spiral conveyors providing turns in narrow spaces
- easy assembly and maintenance thanks to modular structure
Thanks to this compact system, both blockages that could occur during bottle transportation were prevented and floor space was allocated to other production processes.
Direct Relationship Between Space Saving and Efficiency
Not only occupying less space, performing the right process in the right place also directly affects efficiency. Some of the contributions that compact systems make to the production process are as follows:
- Shorter conveying distance: energy and time savings
- Optimized transition points: reduction in downtime
- Simplification in complex lines: reduced operator intervention
- hygienic design advantage: easily cleanable surfaces
Technical Engineering Steps of Compact Design
At Aliş Makina, every compact system is designed according to the following engineering steps:
- Site analysis: 3D modeling of the production facility
- Requirement planning: Product type, conveying capacity, speed, hygiene
- Compact layout drawing: Spiral, inclined, Z-type conveyor options
- Design optimization: Monitoring simulation results with Power BI
- Manufacturing and assembly: CE certified system installation
All these processes are carried out one-on-one with the customer and every step of the project is reported transparently.
Compactness is Essential for Sustainable Facilities
Using less space means not only efficiency but also sustainability. Thanks to compact lines;
- Energy consumption is reduced,
- Heating/cooling area is reduced,
- Less lighting is required,
- Operational carbon footprint decreases.
As Aliş Makina, with the sustainability scores we have achieved within the ECOVADIS scope, we also take a leading role in environmentally friendly production solutions.
