High capacity production lines require product distribution systems that are able to handle and deliver products to the flowpack wrappers without manual intervention. Synchropack has developed a wide range of fully automatic handling and distribution systems. We offer solutions to the different situations that can be found at the end of a continuous manufacturing process using conveyor technology for a wide variety of products. The RDS concept allows the 90° transfer of individual product ranges from the production line onto a secondary conveyor system, which will allow the subsequent orientation and synchronization of the products with flowpack machines located downstream. Different RDS executions are available depending on the product characteristics and/or production requirements.
RAD (Row Alignment Device)
If the row is suitable for automatic distribution, it is intercepted by the aligning device to be delivered synchronized to the distribution system.
RDD (Row Discharge Device)
If the row is not suitable for automatic distribution, it is discarded off-line onto a transverse auxiliary conveyor by retracting the end of the first conveyor.
RDS – DT (Direct Transfer)
The ranges are thrown directly onto the stationary transverse distribution conveyor.
RDS – IT (lndirect Transfer)
The rows are launched onto the holding station and when requested by the system, they are transferred onto the stationary transverse distribution conveyor.
RDS – ST (Soft Transfer)
The ranks are launched onto the holding station and when requested by the system, they are transferred onto the stationary transverse distribution conveyor, which is mounted on a mechanism that allows its lateral movement to allow a “delicate” transfer of the product.
Specially designed for fragile, sticky or very long products.
RRD (Row Refeed Device)
The stored rows can be automatically reinserted into the last wrapping leg. The insertion system is available in two versions depending on the number of ranks/minute and the characteristics and length of the product.
RSD (Row Storage Device)
Untransferred rows can be stored on a conveyor located at the end of the line, after the last transfer station.
