Columbia Machine’s (Vancouver, WA) flow divider can be mounted onto any of Columbia’s floor-level palletizers to divide case rows or act as a centering device.

By forming cases into 2 rows in the row pusher, the divider can increase the overall processing speed of the palletizer. When reversed, the flow divider acts as a centering conveyor to align cases to the turning section, which provides greater control when handling multiple lines.
