Special fixture for removing the second label transfer drum from YB47 packer

In order to remove the second label transfer drum from YB47 packer conveniently, a special fixture was developed. By means of a fixture cart, a bracket set, a rotating frame and a screw set, the drum could be fixed and removed smoothly from the packer, rotated by 90 degrees and placed on the ground. A simulation test was conducted with SolidWorks mechanical design software. The results of a parallel test showed that to remove the drum from a YB47 packer with the aid of the fixture took nine minutes less than with manual operation in the ordinary way, increased efficiency by 40%, reduced the labor intensity of maintenance, and the machine part damage and operator injuries became avoidable. This technology provides a support for promoting the efficiency of packaging equipment.
