Multi-Conveyor designed and manufactured a series of independently powered plastic chain conveyors to transport single-lane products to a customer’s existing shrink wrapper or bypass the shrink wrapper altogether, sending the product to the customer’s case packer.
The operator allows single cartons to travel straight to the case packer at one juncture. Alternatively, they may engage a vertical urethane belt transfer (U.B.T.), with eagle belting and extend/retract sensors, which can be lowered into position to right-angle transfer cartons, redirecting them to a pusher device fed multi-pack shrink wrapper.
Multi-Conveyor engineered a pneumatically actuated carton cross-push assembly with three (3) interchangeable face plates. The pusher plates are adjustable for 2-, 3-, or 4-count product groups to push transfer to the wrapper infeed.
The device was specifically calibrated for the size and weight of the customer’s product. We used a demo product to demonstrate how the pusher device will operate in full production. For safety, clear polycarbonate operator guarding with a single-hinged operator access door and safety switch were incorporated.
The system also included a post-shrink wrap conveyor that waterfall side transfers packages to a single lane discharge feeding a tool-less adjustable bump turn assembly for reorientation to feed another case packer ahead. NOTE: The product used in this video is for demonstration purposes only.
