Multi-Conveyor designed and manufactured a series of independently powered plastic chain conveyors to transport single lane product to a customer’s existing shrink wrapper. OR, bypass the shrink wrapper altogether, sending product to the customer’s case packer.
At one juncture, the operator chooses to allow single cartons to travel straight to the case packer. Alternatively, they may engage a vertical urethane belt transfer (U.B.T.), with eagle belting and extend/retract sensors, 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 pneumatic actuated carton cross push assembly with three (3) interchangeable face plates. The pusher plates are adjustable for 2-, 3-, or 4-count groups of product to push transfer to the wrapper infeed.
The device was specifically calibrated for the size and weight of the customer’s product. We use demo product to demonstrate how the pusher device will operate in full production. For safety, clear polycarbonate operator guarding with 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.
