Case Study
Non-Contact Channeliser
Mechatronics Engineer ยท BigSis (Zyzzle Ltd), UK
ProblemBulk product formed crystal-like structuring that prevented reliable entry into individual flow channels, causing repeated entry failures.
Approach
- Iterated multiple prototypes to identify and address the bulk-instability failure mode
- Engineered a non-contact mechanism that disrupts internal bulk bonding without mechanically disturbing individual products
- Divided bulk flow into controlled individual lines feeding downstream channels
ResultEliminated entry failures from bulk crystal formation and stabilised flow consistency without compromising product integrity.
