Brewery upgrades to high-efficiency, dry-running canning line

MADTREE Brewery in Cincinnati, Ohio worked with Regal to expand their original can line of about 24 cans per minute, to 250 cans per minute. With the Regal team, the initial conveyor run-in was able to start up quickly and smoothly, and start selling cases within one month. A year before startup of the expansion, Regal assisted in equipment selection, conveyor/component design, layout simplification, OEM "Final Acceptance Testing", and onsite installation support, which continued through start up and run in.

The bundle of products from Regal family brands include System Plast® NGE modular belts and Nolu®-S wear strips, Sealmaster® bearings, Hub City™ Hera® gearboxes, and LEESON® motors. These products optimize efficiency and result in a 100% dry running conveyor line, providing both production efficiency and sustainability. A custom System Plast side transfer module was also built and integrated into the equipment, eliminating jamming and down cans. MADTREE now has an efficient, smooth running packaging line that will be relatively maintenance free for the long term, with higher yield and faster throughput, and allow them to conduct business in a sustainable and environmentally-friendly way.
