Kiln Dried Sand - Form Fill Seal
Project archive

Mansfield Sand Company Limited have been in operation for over 170 years and develop and produce high quality silica sand based surfacing solutions for sport, landscaping and recreation. Bagging operations at Mansfield Sand have needed to develop rapidly with the increase in demand arising from both sales success and legislative changes over the past 10 years. https://mansfield-sand.co.uk/
With shifting market requirements meaning Mansfield Sand did not have the production capability to pack 25 kg bags at sufficient speed to satisfy all their supply requirements. Mansfield Sand enlisted Webster Griffin to find a way to expand the production capabilities in the face of the following challenges:
- Limited space was available to house both the old system and the new equipment side by side. Mansfield wanted the option of running either line, eliminating downtime during commissioning and providing an alternative route through which to process old stocks of sacks. This was achieved with cunning use of angled powered conveyors and a new pick up station for the robot.
- The capability to pack 25kg at a high throughput with minimal input from operators
