Another Patent

Two years ago today we lost Dad and I miss him greatly. I don't know why I didn't think to post this here earlier, but Dad was awarded a patent in January for the work he did on an improvement to our Infinity accumulation table. He and I worked on the patent docs in the months before he died and it just finally passed through the system.

When he came up with this invention, he was trying to figure out a way to single file wine bottles smoother than we currently could. His idea was to slow down a single conveyor on our system to help separate the product. With this we were able to increase our outfeed rates by 30-40% and it has now been incorporated into the design of almost every table we build.

Recently, we designed a small Infinity table using this invention that helped us solve a 30 year old problem in the pharmaceutical industry in handling tiny 2ml glass vials.

Like father like son. That's the ultimate compliment in this case.
