Pneumatic Diverger - Orienting Products from 2 Lanes to 4 Lanes
The pneumatically-actuated Product Diverger can accept two lanes of product and automatically diverge them into four lanes using a pneumatically-actuated system. This is typically used upstream of a spiral freezer to present product across the full width of the freezer conveyor. A programmable controller is used to sweep every other row of product from two middle lanes into two outer lanes. Sensors mounted upstream of the diverger time the sweep to ensure accuracy. A fixed side guide is used on the outer lanes to ensure the product is positioned properly. Benchmark's InFlight automatic infeeds automate loading into horizontal wrappers or cartoners, and custom automatic infeeds are designed to meet specific product specifications for superior performance and reliability. Automatic cartoner infeeds handle backlogged products efficiently. Additionally, comprehensive turnkey distribution systems are available for baked goods, bars, cookies, crackers, and frozen foods. Automatic slug loading is ideal for thin, consistently shaped products, while automatic tray loaders provide versatile tray loading solutions for various sizes. High-speed, efficient operations are supported across industries with orienting devices ensuring accurate product positioning. A variety of conveyor options are available, including belt, chain, vibratory, inverting, and ergonomic stepped packing tables. Contact Benchmark today to learn more.
