VergeAll
Converger or Diverger Conveyor
Conveyor Type
VergeAll is an inline conveyor module that converges and/or diverges loose product on a production line at production speeds. It is essentially a conveyor belt manufactured from hard chrome plated stainless steel rods connected to and driven by parallel drive chains. The injection moulded coil springs are mounted over the rods and between the chains. As the conveyor moves the coil springs pitch centres increases or decreases to effectively change the width of the conveyor which in turn changes the loose product centres.
Options
Applications for VergeAll are varied, but are commonly used in food processing plants to:
- Converge product to either increase or reduce cooling
- Converge product prior to packaging
- Converge product to reduce waste space created by wide process equipment
- Diverge product to create spacing to allow coating, enrobing or battering
- Diverge to prevent product contact during cooking
- Diverge to prevent product contact during cooking
Typical Applications
Frozen, cooked and coated products
Packaged products
Cut or sliced products
Polyband
Polyurethane Band Conveyors
Conveyor Type
Our Polyband polyurethane band conveyors design allows for quick release cords and belts are great for critical hygienic applications and easy maintenance. PolyBand can be integrated with any conveyor assembly to tier select or reject product to other lines or product streams. Polyband can manipulate the product orientation through any angle, ie narrow side leading entering the conveyor to wide side exiting.
Features
- Individually hinged infeed/discharge sections for easy cord replacement and sanitising
- Removable nose roller assemblies
- Polymer bed
- Product side guides (optional)
- Manufactured from FDA/USDA materials
Typical Applications
Baked Goods
Snack Foods
Packaged Product
Zero radius corners
Singuliser
Polyurethane Band Conveyors
Conveyor Type
The Singuliser is a stand-alone marshalling centre enabling multiple-laned product from a separate machine to be sorted/split and singulised to a single lane. The sequential control allows the Singuliser to capture and release index products one at a time to be converged downstream into a single lane.
Typical Applications
Packaged loose products
Itemise or singulise grouped items
Post wrapper or sealer machine
Modusort
Diverting Conveyors
Conveyor Type
ModuSort Stations enable high throughput automated carton diverting from a single transport conveyor. By integrating bar code scanning or other carton identification sensors the ModuSort can divert certain cartons to one or multiple conveyors at belt speeds of up to 50 metres/min or 60 cartons/min.
Typical layouts may include multiple ModuSort diverters with different cartons being diverted to specific packing areas. This flexibility offers many savings in labour units by delivering cartons exactly where they are being palletised.
