Line separation for thermoformed packs
In high-volume packaging operations, maintaining a continuous and smooth flow of products can be challenging, especially when transitioning from multi-lane to single-lane transport. Such a task is essential for ensuring the efficiency of downstream processes like weighing, labeling, and quality control.
Optimize multi-lane to single-lane transitions
The SERVOFEED PF410 & PF420 by Buhmann Systeme are advanced line separators designed to transition products from multi-lane production lines to single-lane transport. These solutions connect effortlessly to upstream machines via a height-adjustable infeed belt. The split belts ensure optimal pack transfer regardless of the thermoformer brand, while speed adjustments are automatic to match the feed speed of the thermoforming line. Utilizing a pick & place system, the line separates products for onward processing by components such as scales, metal detectors, and labelers. The PF420 variant is particularly suited for longer take-off lengths and higher performance requirements. Special features include empty pack detection, single pack ejection, and direct film throughput, making these models highly versatile for new and existing thermoforming machines.
