STELLANTIS placed an order with IDEATEC for the integration of a bulk feeding equipment at its Mulhouse site, for unbundling wheel hubs at the beginning of the milling process.

This major project includes three distribution assemblies for raw hubs packaged in bulk, which are lifted in tilting loading skips. The hubs are automatically and gradually dumped into hoppers and conveyed to vibrating bowls. Upon exiting the bowls, the hubs are moved on conveyors to unit release mechanisms for part handling. Due to its large size, this machine required technical expertise and precision from IDEATEC teams throughout the manufacturing process. The consultation began in November 2022, the order was finalized in June 2023, and all materials were delivered in August 2024. Installation and commissioning of this equipment at the client site was a major project this summer for IDEATEC technicians.
