About Fleetwood Robotic Tray Storage (RTS)

Boost your can end manufacturing process with BW Packaging's Fleetwood advanced Robotic Tray Storage (RTS) Systems. Our cutting-edge technology enhances line efficiency by optimizing the distribution and accumulation of shells. The RTS intelligently balances infeed and discharge rates along with the number of lanes, ensuring that your production line meets its exact demands.

Our innovative removal trays allow for the storage of excess production, facilitating a seamless supply of materials even during underproduction periods. With the RTS, you can expect top-tier handling of the highest line speeds and efficiency standards in the industry.

Streamlined Shell Distribution and Production Isolation

Fleetwood’s Robotic Tray Storage Balancing Systems are designed for effortless handling of shell distribution, effectively isolating upstream and downstream production processes. Infeed lanes are adept at separating sticks of ends by length, while our robotic arm directs these sticks to either storage trays or discharge lanes based on real-time product demand. As trays fill, they are stacked and can be stored outside of the RTS, allowing for the build-up of product inventory that is seamlessly reintroduced to maintain continuous production flow.

User-Friendly Operation and 24/7 Reliability

With optional automatic product change marker detection, our operators can concentrate on facilitating changeovers in other areas of the production line. The RTS system is engineered for robust 24/7 operation and is powered by BW Packaging’s intuitive control system. Since 1956, the Fleetwood brand has maintained a customer-focused, reliable, and innovative approach that has established us as a leader in the can-end market.

Enhanced Visibility and Accessibility

Our floor-level design ensures open visibility of the production process and easy access without the need for elevated platforms. The RTS 1812M model offers flexible tray handling configurations, capable of managing new or existing metal trays in your inventory. This system efficiently handles product type and color changeovers, effectively isolating primary from secondary products to ensure uninterrupted production.

Cost-Effective Solutions with Robust Plastic Trays

Choose BW Packaging's economical Fleetwood RTS 1408P or 2812P plastic trays to maintain your product inventory with minimal capital investment year after year. Our system reliably accommodates product type or color transitions, allowing you to isolate primary products from secondary ones, thus optimizing production reliability.
