Multi-Conveyor Builds Dual to Single Lane Hygienic Conveyors Using Chain Drift Parallel Transfer Design

Multi-Conveyor recently built a set of sanitary food-grade conveyors that combine dual lanes of cup-size containers to feed an existing metal detector. It includes a 2:1 combiner and unique "chain drift" parallel transfer designs.

The first conveyor section starts at an existing filler discharge that transfers dual lane product on 6-1/2 in. centers. The 2-lanes travel through a 90 degree curve on side flexing chain, set at precise speeds to facilitate a natural 2-to-1 combiner using a simple angled side rail.

In a video, Tom Wright, Sales Account Manager at Multi-Conveyor, explains, “This particular area we’ve got a 2-to-1 combiner bringing two lanes of products down to one for one production line. An additional production line coming in and feeding at this point, segregating the products prior to a metal detector area.”
