Omni Metalcraft Corp. Activated Roller Belt Conveyor with Retractable Bump Turn

Omni's Activated Roller Belt™ Aligner (ARB) with Retractable Bump Turn and Friction Top
Gapping Conveyor in a case handling application.

A food manufacturer needed to align, gap, and change product orientation of two box sizes at high speeds and fit within the existing plant layout. The conveyor had to fit in a small window of space at the top of a three tier conveyor system.
Omni Metalcraft Corp. designed an Activated Roller Belt™ (ARB) Aligner Conveyor integrated with a product gapper and case turner. The package would first be aligned to one side for scanning. A Plastic Belt gapper was then integrated to space out the packages to read its orientation with photoeyes. If the package orientation needed to change, a Retractable Bump Turn would activate allowing the product to rotate 90 degrees. All three application solutions were completed in 14 feet at 100 FPM.
