Distribution conveyors improve packaging efficiency
Continuously convey and distribute proportional amounts of product to multiple locations without “starving” downstream equipment. Heat and Control’s FastBack conveyor equipped with the Revolution rotary gate delivers a consistent supply of product so weighers and bagmakers operate at peak efficiency.
The Revolution gate has no pinch points and can be removed without tools for easy cleaning. Eliminating the product damage caused by "chopping" slide gates, Revolution’s cylindrical outlet rotates to divert a portion of the main product flow. No slide gates mean no product leaks, allergen risks or hazardous pinch-points. Air lines and pneumatics have also been eliminated to reduce maintenance.
