This model demonstrates a bulk powder processing and packaging plant. Large sacks of various dry material are conveyed in and transported by fork truck to one of six cranes. The cranes lift and dump the sacks into hoppers where the material is gravity fed through granulators, mixers and baggers. Finished product is packaged into one of three bag sizes before being conveyed out of the system to an intermediate storage area. Global tables are setup in the model to allow you to easily change variables such as processing times, packaging times, equipment speeds, etc.
This is a Flexsim v4.5 model with all media contained within the same directory as the model; and can therefore, be saved to any directory on your computer.
