  Photographic Paper Roll Handling System
   
  The Lewis Australia Packaging system is a flexible system which handled photographic paper rolls from 170mm to 330mm diameter.
   
  The system was designed to package a customer roll every 4 seconds.
   
   
   
  The challenge was to handle a product that was sensitive to bruising, light and chemical contact with certain materials, in widely variable roll sizes and widths.
   
  The resulting system, which was designed to meet the challenges listed above, is robust and innovative.
   
  The system was designed with the following features:
   
 
  • Low impact on the product to avoid damages. Reduction of rejects.
  • Ergonomically designed to operate with operators in a dark room environment.
  • Handles twice the production volume of the existing line.
  • The contact surfaces of the system were made of chemically inert soft materials to avoid damaging the product.
