Asynchronous deposited bag conveyor doubles products per minute
This Multi-Conveyor system tackles both speed and position control
Multi-Conveyor (multi-conveyor.com)has just built this 2:1 mild steel constructed conveyor system that merges over 100 products per minute from two lines into a single line (doubling the product/minute production rate) to feed an automated case packing machine. Individual baggers deposit on both lines at predetermined speeds providing minimum gaps between product in order to complete the vertical merge.
The bags detected on the top conveyor are "injected" into the gaps on the bottom conveyor with assistance of vacuum metered belting prior to the merge.
