Angled Roller Belt
New solution from Intralox facilitates automated singulation, de-scrambling and correction of side-by-side packages prior to sorting. Intralox's Series 400 Angled Roller Belt (ARB) is the heart of this compact, low-cost solution. By consistently repositioning conveyed packages into a single file, the Series 400 ARB significantly reduces side-by-side packages, thereby improving sorter throughput and reducing bar code scanning errors....more

Unscrambler reduces side-by-sides
To minimize side-by-side cartons on a typical package handling conveyor system, the Unscrambler is a low-cost, small footprint unscrambling unit that creates additional space between products. This reduces downstream recirculation, mis-sorts and no reads. The system may be retrofitted into existing systems without sacrificing accumulation conveyor. Engineered for quiet operation and ease of maintenance, the system’s smaller footprint helps existing systems achieve higher productivity levels to optimize system throughput....more

Conveyor handles sharp curves
Model KGF-P 2040 belt curve conveyor provides smooth product turns for small items. The frame features 10 millimeter T-slotted aluminum construction for direct mounting of side rails, sensors and accessories. A 20-millimeter rolling knife edge transfers parts from in-feed to out-feed. To eliminate external interference, a compact center drive is located below the conveyor. Antistatic, FDA-suitable belt options include urethane, polyester and PVC with smooth woven and velvet surfaces. Standard belt curve is 90 degrees, with an optional 180 degree model available. Automatic belt tensioning accommodates stretch to reduce wear and ensure fixed installed dimension....more

Dock conveyor handles oversized loads
Used at the dock, a gravity-operated multi-functional conveyor assists loading and unloading large, oversized and unwieldy products directly to and from over-the-road trucks at docks. The system’s collapsible crossbar legs, rails and bi-directional 48 x 48 inch transfer cart are constructed of reinforced aluminum. It can be dismantled or re-assembled in 30 minutes without tooling for portability. Standard height of the conveyor is 40 inches, which may be raised in 2 inch increments to 48 inches. The conveyor handles a maximum load capacity of 4,000 pounds. ...more
