Overview

Three-Stage Collation, Stacking and Transfer

This independent product handling unit features fully adjustable 3-stage vertical rotor vanes that provide collation, stacking and transfer of bags, sachets, ready meals and pizzas. Multiple units can be integrated to meet high speed line requirements.

The product timing system consists of three stage rotary drop stations, which align the incoming product timing to the position of the output device, most commonly a moving cartoner PIC pocket. Using multiple drop timing stations allows variations between incoming product spacing and the required outfeed timing to be equalized and avoids excessive product aborting due to miss-timed products.
