Solutions
- 90-degree transfers maintaining product orientation
- Aligners/edge justification
- Case turners
- Bump turns
- Touchless low friction merges
- Rejects
90° Transfers & Lane Merges
- 90° passive on and 90° passive off transfers
- No adjustment needed for different size products
- Requires 6″-8″ gap upstream
- 90° passive on requires some product momentum, 90° passive off does not
- Using 90° passive on product can merge into a gap on mainline ARB
- Uses Series 400 45° chain and passive rollers
Edge Justification & Bump Turns
- No adjustment needed for different size products
- Edge justification requires no product gap
- Bump turn needs 6″8″ gap upstream
- A fixed or pneumatically controlled protrusion from the side rail is added to help start the turning process
- Uses Series 400 30° chain and activated rollers
Options & Accessories
- Standard support stands and guiding options available
- All standard 3200 Series mounting packages and gear motors are available
