Peripheral Handling

The Wave Pusher WAP is designed to divert containers standing upright from a main conveyor to an alternate conveyor. It can be used for container rejection, sorting, and selection applications. The WAP diverts round, non-round and multiple-type containers at speeds up to 350 per minute. It can be used as a standalone device or integrated with FleXinspect machines.

The CSmulti is a container separator designed to space multiple article types with different diameters before entering any inspection machine. The servo-driven CSmulti spaces both round and non-round containers and can be used stand-alone or integrated with FleXinspect machines. This four-belt device can handle speeds up to 600 containers per minute.

The container spacer CS2 is designed to space round and non-round containers before entering an inspection machine. The servo-driven CS2 can be used stand-alone or integrated with FleXinspect machines. The CS2 operates at speeds up to 350 containers per minute.

The container spacer CS4 is designed to space round and non-round containers before entering an inspection machine. The servo-driven CS4 can be used stand-alone or integrated with FleXinspect machines. The CS4 operates at speeds up to 600 containers per minute.

The “Container Aligner” (AL) accurately rotates containers in any orientation on a conveyor. This device couples with the “Article type identifier” (ATI) or “FleXinspect B” (FleX B) to gather positional feedback. The AL orients round and non-round containers for optimal sidewall inspection and/or orients containers for packaging at speeds up to 300 containers per minute.

The Infeed Quality Monitor IQM automatically checks container characteristics before entering FleXinspect machines. It detects and removes unwanted containers that are broken, fallen, stuck, over/under height as well as other dimensional issues. The IQM improves line efficiencies saving time, labor, and money by reducing line stoppages without human intervention. It can monitor round and non-round containers at speeds up to 600 per minute.
