A great alternative to slat switches, pushers arms, and sliding shoe sorters, the ARB Switch is a reliable and innovative conveying solution. Able to handle up to 500 products a minute, as well as products of varying sizes and weights, the ARB Switch is an all around great solution for your production line. It is able to handle multiple infeeds to multiple outfeeds, as well as center and side infeeds. It can also switch items to either the left or right sides, with varied feed positions as needed.
Ideal For:
- 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
ARB Switch Features:
- Offer greater throughput and package-handling flexibility than traditional solutions like pusher arms (up to 500 products per minute)
- Reduce downtime associated with traditional slat switches
- Protect product quality
- Enable a continuous flow of products through multiple infeeds
- Provide flexibility to accommodate instant changes in product types and sizes, switch configurations, and infeed/outfeed positions with control software modifications only
- Safer than alternative diverter conveyors
