Empty Can Vacuum Bridge

Our advanced Single‑Lane Empty Can Vacuum Bridge ensures precise product handling, accurate traceability, and reliable quality control—all within a streamlined, continuous process. Empty cans travel securely along an overhead vacuum conveyor as a high‑performance laser coder marks the bottom of each can with clear, durable identification. Integrated vision inspection verifies the presence and accuracy of every code, automatically rejecting any cans with missing or unreadable markings.

To maintain smooth flow and protect downstream equipment, a vacuum transition seamlessly returns cans to a base chain conveyor for secondary inspection and final quality verification. Any tipped cans are designed to fall safely through a dedicated gap, preventing jams and minimizing line interruptions. The result is a highly efficient, dependable coding and inspection solution engineered for maximum uptime and product integrity.

Robotic Variety Pack Uncasing System

Descon’s Robotic Variety Pack Uncasing System utilizes Axis Robots to accurately and continuously create a multiple-flavoured pack of beverages.

It’s designed to receive up to 6 lanes of product each of various flavours, delivers them into the uncasing station, then sequentially uncases full product from their trays. Trays are then discarded to a reject system.  The result is a variety pack of beverages.  

Robotic Depalletizing & Palletizing System

Descon’s Robotic Palletizing & Depalletizing System utilizes Axis Robots to swiftly and quietly handle empty and full pails, jerrycans, and bottles from 2 litres to 6 gallons from conveyor to skids for transport.

Robotic Variety Pack Sorting System

Designed for flexibility and accuracy, Descon’s pick and place system utilizes servo motor control to accurately and continuously reorient containers to build rainbow packs.

Reciprocating Tray Loader & Stacker

The Reciprocating Tray Loader and Stacker is a fully automatic integrated system that nests bags of tortilla shells into plastic trays, stacks the trays and deposits the entire load directly on to the floor for transport to trucks.

Bulk Depalletizer

The Descon Bulk Depalletizer is designed to outlast, outrun and outperform. Reaching speeds of up to seven layers per minute, it’s suited to support the most demanding of bottling and canning lines.

Pallet De/Stacker

Whether it’s integrated into a bulk depalletizing system or part of a pallet handling system, the Descon Pallet De/Stacker are suited for adding or removing pallets from the production line.

Accumulation Hopper

Accumulation is critical to a successful empty PET/HDPE bottle line.

Descon Bulk Accumulation Hoppers work with unscramblers, providing a relatively small amount of accumulation to help manage short stoppages between equipment. If accumulation is sized appropriately, the relative speeds of equipment are managed to operate within a small speed range allowing for consistent and smooth operation of the entire system.

Whether offline or indirect transfer operation, our storage silos improve line efficiency and maintain product integrity.

Shell Washing

Descon’s product offering in empty shell handling began with our acquisition of technology from Convey Systems, which was once considered the market leader in shell washing and drying. Since that time, we have added our own touches and have since provided systems that are unparalleled by our competitors.

Our offerings include vertical and horizontal dry trash removal systems, the ultimate shell washer and a hot air recirculating shell drying system. Coupled with our shell conveyor and integration capabilities, we are uniquely qualified to assist you in this area.
