Conveyors Feature Metered Merge With Manual Lift Gates

Products travel single file to an existing case sealer, controlled by strategically placed sensors and metering devices.

Multi Conveyor Metered Merge Conveyor With Lift Gates

Multi-Conveyor has added to its portfolio a series of powered plastic chain conveyors that incorporate manual lift gates for operator access and pneumatic stop/clamp control for seamless merges. The new technology merges two lines fed from two existing case packers down to a single lane prior to the processor’s case sealer and palletizer.

Slightly inclined, the offset conveyors incorporate manual lift gate assemblies for operator access within a confined production area. The designated priority line conveys the cases to a right-angle transfer maintaining product orientation. Product ultimately single files to an existing case sealer, controlled by strategically placed sensors and metering devices. 

Manual lift gates allow operators to easily move between production lines. Demo boxes simulate how an operator can easily lift the infeed end of the gate assembly, which triggers a pneumatic roller stop assembly to halt production. When the lift gate is lowered back into position, the pneumatic roller stop retracts to resume normal production flow.
