Missing link for packaging lines

27-Jan-2009

Syspal has developed a conveyor unit which it says will transform the speed of many food packaging operations. The Transverger is designed to solve a traditionally weak link in food production lines - the sorting of goods into a single product stream.

Conventional peg-and-belt conveyors can be slow and unreliable but the Transverger provides a fast, reliable and cost-effective solution. Recent tests conducted in a commercial production environment showed that the Transverger increased production speed by 45%.

The system features intelligent speed control which manages the outfeed from the line's vacuum forming machine. A novel index facility transfers the product through 90 degrees, thus avoiding the need to mechanically turn and separate the product. Instead, the system automatically transfers the product through an integral S-bend conveyor.

It also uses a speed-up section to separate the packs.
