Micropitch transfers are basically a “powered deadplate”, designed to allow for seamless end-to-end transfers of small profile, top-heavy, or uniquely shaped products that may stall, wedge, wobble or tip on a standard fixed transfer deadplate or roller transition.
When two conveyors need an end-to-end transfer, LBP (low back pressure) transitions are typical. However, some products can stall using this method, ultimately waiting for the next product to nudge it over the transfer area. It was for this very purpose that the micropitch transfer was created.
