Conveyors Built to Gap, Rotate, Transport, and Transfer Canned Goods
Multi-Conveyor recently built a series of four plastic belt conveyors designed to gap, rotate, transport, and right angle-transfer single-lane, wrapped, corrugated trays of canned goods.
Multi-Conveyor’s trays discharge wide-side, leading from an existing heat tunnel onto the first conveyor, increasing the gap between trays to prepare for a tray rotation ahead. A consecutive dual-lane, product-turning conveyor then rotates the trays by 90 degrees to reorient product so that it is narrow side-leading. This rotation allows an existing labeler to apply labels on the wide side of the flats. Trays then smoothly transfer onto the third transport belt in continual motion.
