Multi-Conveyor, Winneconne, Wis., merged two lanes of separately fed 12-inch-long bagged food products into a single conveyor lane at 110 products per minute.
The new system is designed to maintain bag registration while calculating speed-to-length ratios necessary for proper product stagger at the merging point. Even when the system stops and starts again, the bagged product remains in position for a successful 2:1 combine.
