Line converger for thermoforming packaging lines
In high-speed thermoforming lines, managing product flow from multiple lanes to a single lane efficiently is crucial. This is often needed for subsequent processes like labeling or metal detection, where products must be aligned in a unified lane.
Transform multi-lane flow into a single lane
The SERVOFEED PF600 from Buhmann Systeme is designed to handle the task of converging products from multi-lane production lines into a single lane. The system connects to upstream equipment via a height-adjustable infeed belt, and its split belts ensure optimal pack takeover from the thermoformer. The PF600’s belt speed automatically matches the feed speed of the thermoformer, ensuring a seamless transition. It efficiently handles deep-drawing packs after longitudinal cutting, redirecting them for downstream processes like weighing, metal detection, and labeling. Fitted with options like driven side guides, separating discs for soft film packs, and a transverse pack turning unit, it guarantees versatile and secure product handling.
