Products are transported on a carrier that can move them for example from depositing stations requiring a static depositing target to stations requiring an accurate constant moving target where spreading is required. Speeds can be separately controlled in areas such as bends and 180 degree switchbacks ensuring the product is handles gently without disruption during optimised transport speeds. Examples of applications of course include slicing lines where multiple products are required in the same package (platters). These products would normally be sliced on individual slicers and then can be collated and automatically loaded into a packaging machine for example with a Weber Pick and Place system. For ready meal lines and other make up lines (Sandwiches/Pizzas) where multiple actions are required to create the finished product the system has huge advantages. The ability to move the product between each operation and easily select stations and positions by product type allows for complete flexibility and easy product changeovers.
