Compact belt separator for food packaging lines

Streamline your packaging line by efficiently merging up to six packing lanes into one, reducing changeover times and minimizing error potential in recipe adjustments, all within a compact footprint.

Merges Multiple Packing Lanes Efficiently

The Weber weSORT 3000 from Weber Food Technology is a compact belt converger designed to streamline packing operations by efficiently merging up to six packing lanes onto a single track. This integration minimizes line length and allows for seamless recipe management when used in conjunction with the Weber wePACK packaging machine, effectively reducing changeover times and minimizing error sources. This equipment is ideal for diverse applications, processing a wide range of products such as pre-sliced cheese, bacon strips, and plant-based burger patties across food processing, snack manufacturing, and dairy production sectors. It offers high-speed continuous operation, fully automated for optimal throughput. The weSORT 3000 employs an easy tool-free change system for quick adaptation to different line widths, and features optional ejection mechanisms for empty or defective packs. Designed for efficient mechanical integration, it reduces energy consumption by eliminating the need for extra controller hardware, enhancing operational efficiency and cost savings.

Benefits

  • Streamlines packaging efficiency by merging up to six lanes, enhancing overall throughput.
  • Integrated control with wePACK reduces costs and simplifies recipe adjustments.
  • Tool-free format changes minimize downtime during product switchovers.
  • Compact design optimizes floor space, accommodating tight production layouts.
  • Optional pack ejection decreases waste by removing defective or empty packages.
