Solutions

Combining and Dividing Machines

In order to keep up with production demands, product needs to be combined and divided. Our laning solutions feature a variety of different lane combiners and lane dividers that can be integrated into your new or existing lines to make flow of product easier and more efficient.

Capabilities:

Make downstream equipment more effective
Easy changeover
Eliminates manual processes
Can mount to existing conveyor
Small footprint models
Ongoing production even if one lane goes down
Low or high speed models

Stable Containers

Low Cost Combining Solution

Our Standard Combiner is ideal for applications that keep both lanes running continuously. Utilizing timing screw technology, it accepts two lanes of products and discharges them out of phase, allowing rails to accept and finish the combine. This system, combining mechanical and electrical components, is easy to install and flexible, running up to 1000 containers per minute. Entry-level AC motor options are also available, supporting up to 400 containers per minute.

Flexibility When Only One Lane of Product Fed

The Smart Combiner employs timing screw and controls technology to accept two lanes of containers and combine them into one at discharge, releasing containers out of phase. This combiner allows for operation with only one lane if necessary, using photo eyes to maintain system running with backlog. It runs up to 1000 containers per minute and features servo motors for an enhanced controls experience.

Sophisticated Combining for Maximum Flexibility

The Dynamic Combiner accepts two lanes of containers and combines them into one lane at discharge, fully integrating them within the screws. This system supports the combining of unstable products at high speeds, using 4 screws and 4 servo motors to maintain complete control throughout the process. It regulates upstream flow to ensure consistent combining and throughput for downstream equipment, running up to 1500 containers per minute.
