Metered Merge with Manual Lift Gates
Multi-Conveyor recently built a series of powered plastic chain conveyors that incorporate manual lift gates for operator access, and pneumatic stop/clamp control for seamless merge. The overall project merges two lines fed from two existing case packers down to a single lane prior to the customer’s case sealer and ultimate palletizer. Slightly inclined, offset conveyors…

Multi-Conveyor recently built multiple sanitary, precision timed, semi-automatic hand pack conveyor lines that ultimately feed labelers and metal detection systems. Six straight running plastic belt conveyors could allow a customer supplied tray denesting machine to dispense single lane empty plastic food trays onto an indexing conveyor where operators manually fill. Sensors are provided for tray…
Read MoreCleated Incline Slider-Bed Trough Conveyor
Multi-Conveyor recently built a stainless steel constructed cleated incline trough-style belt conveyor designed to transport product waste to a customer supplied hopper. The 24 in. wide belts feature 2 in. high flights every 8 in. that capture and incline the debris up to 50 in. on the incline. The product releases through a series of…
Read MoreMetered High-Speed Servo Conveyors
Multi-Conveyor recently built this metered servo merge conveyor as part of a larger system to transport packaged food. The metering conveyor feeds a series of servo belt conveyors to gap two lanes of product into a single lane flow using DARB technology. A series of photo-sensors were reportedly placed to sense product for the precise…
Read MoreElevated Conveyor Maximizes Production
Multi-Conveyor announced it recently built a conveyor system to transport bags of sugar from three separate bag filling machines to ultimately feed a robotic tray packer. The filled bags exit the bagging machines standing upright with the narrow edge leading. Three lanes merge into one, with a pneumatic traffic cop gate system. Once single filed,…
Read MoreMassive Bi-Directional Accumulation For Super High-Speed Filling
Multi-Conveyor recently modified the layout of a high-speed canning line by adding intermediate sections and adding a massive stainless steel bi-directional accumulation table. The modification included a 51′ mass flow transport conveyor section and a 54′ long by 10’ wide accumulation table to hold backed-up or accumulated product to nearly 14,000 cans at a required…
Read MoreZ-Incline Elevates IQF 14 Feet
Multi-Conveyor recently built a stainless steel vertical scoop flight elevator that raises fresh frozen fruit over 14 ft. in a small footprint. The operator manually loads bulk individually quick frozen (IQF) product into a specially designed infeed hopper where it will accumulate until the conveyor can take it away. The product inclines and then discharges…
Read MorePallet Unloading Conveyor
Multi-Conveyor recently built a 48 in. wide stainless steel constructed chain conveyor system to move both empty and full pallets over seven separate conveyor sections totaling over 40 feet of over-under conveyance. Operators load full pallets onto the upper level where the pallet advances through two staging zones, controlled by photo-eyes, to the unloading zone.…

Multi-Conveyor has decades of combined controls experience. Multi-Conveyor’s electrical team has built simplistic, standard powered equipment as well as complete, intricately controlled systems for the most complicated conveyor operation or integration. This newly released video will briefly show how an electrical panel the size of a garage door, is actually built. We start with UL…
Read MoreConveyors: The Ins and Outs
Which Type Is Best for Your Application, And What You Should Consider When Making A Purchase. By: Elisabeth Cuneo, Editor Conveying and accumulation are both so critical to the packaging line, as conveyors move product from one spot on the line to the next, and accumulation can account for machine operation downtimes When looking to…
Read MoreNewly Released Video: Upender Conveyor Technology
Multi-Conveyor (multi-conveyor.com) recently built this stainless steel table top system designed to rotate bag-in-box cartons from wide edge to narrow edge leading using simple gravity with minimal guidance for reorientation. A single lane slave driven timing belt supports cartons on the right-hand side allowing the bottom of the cartons to rotate down counter-clockwise to a…
