Nestle utilizes specialized material handling equipment in producing various types of candy for it's Willy Wonka brand. The company was looking to replace the roughly 10-year-old dumpers it was using on their panning lines in its Itasca, Illinois factory. However, the manufacturer they had initially purchased them from was no longer making the product.

Having already successfully delivered on a multiple pallet inverter project at the Itasca facility, Nestle was familiar with Cherry's Industrial Equipment and reached out to us to see if we could provide a new stainless steel drum dumper suited to their application. Although we had never built a drum dumper like the customer described, it was clear the mechanics of the unit were similar to our line of 90° Tippers.

金宝慱亚洲体育樱桃的印度河trial pride's itself on offering material handling solutions that completely solve customer problems. So producing a custom drum dumper for Willy Wonka would only be a matter of confirming their needs, expectations, application dimensions and electrical & material global specifications.

Delivering a Nestle - Willy Wonka Drum Dumper

金宝慱亚洲体育樱桃的印度河trial took the approach to provide a solution that met the particular characteristics of the original product while offering superior quality and design. The custom LDT Drum Dumper we developed is built for smooth and reliable performance featuring push button controls and limit switches, a 304 stainless steel chute, Hydac All-in-One Power Unit, counterbalance and pressure relief valves and a 120V single phase motor.

Additional enhancements to the Drum Dumper included stainless steel casters, handles and dual heavy duty floor locks for improved safety and maneuverability. A marine 2-part epoxy coasted frame and legs also offer increased resistance to moisture and chemicals for extended product life. From initial contact and sales consultation to site visits, factory acceptance testing, delivery and implementation, Cherry's Industrial stayed in close communication with Nestle and within the projected timeline.

Nestle - Willy Wonka Drum Dumper Project Overview

The competitive pricing, flexibility and custom capabilities were all value points for Wonka. The stainless steel drum bumper designed for this project was implemented successfully at the Itasca, IL factory. The client has also expressed interest in purchasing two to three more units in 2019.

The following note from the customer confirmed their satisfaction:

“Thank you for the dumper, it has been received very positively and we will be purchasing more of them”– Jose Viramontes

金宝慱亚洲体育樱桃的印度河trial Equipment was able to strengthen its relationship with Nestle - Willy Wonka and win its return business. Custom designing and fabricating the item also provides the opportunity for the drum dumper to become part of our standard product offering eventually.
