Multi-Conveyor has built a series of carbon and mild steel constructed modular plastic belt conveyors. These new conveyors are designed to transport and accumulate product from several cartoner discharges to feed downstream packaging solutions. More than 200 feet of accumulation facilitates the unobstructed continuation of cartoner output production in the event of downstream case packing interruptions, the company says. The cartoners discharge product in groups onto flat top plastic belt conveyors, including the overhead mounted side grip metering belts that manipulate the carton flow from groups to properly spaced individual cartons for downstream equipment. The company says it sourced incline and decline spirals by Ryson and combined them with an overhead bridge section that created a multi-functional pass-thru for operator traffic and material flow below. Two spiral units were brought in-house and integrated into the line for factor acceptance testing to confirm transfers and compatibility with client product, it notes.
