- Handling a variety of product sizes (as small as 4 in. x 4 in. [100 mm x 100 mm] with no maximum) and types (cases, tray packs, 2-liter shells, litho-packs, bundles, pouches, polybags, shrink-wrapped packages)
- Increasing throughput capacity at a switching or line dividing point
- Reducing the number of conveyors and controls
- Increasing safety compared to slat switches, sliding shoe sorters, and other laning conveyors and diverting conveyors
- Accommodating a high number of lanes
A great alternative to slat switches, pushers arms, and sliding shoe sorters, the ARB Switch is a reliable and innovative conveying solution.
