Multiple Freezer Discharge to Automated Packing

This photograph shows one of our line merge conveyor lifts, the unit allows one automated packing machine to have an alternate supply from two separate freezers.

In its low level position (as shown) the product is run straight across the modular belt conveyors, spread apart slightly and transferred onto a belt conveyor.

In its high level position the product comes in from the left on the spreading modular belt conveyor, transfers onto a belt bend which keeps the product in line as it brings it 90° onto the small modular belt conveyor.
 
Below is an illustration of how this would work.
Lift unit in the down position, each freezer feeds its own packing station. Lift unit in the up position allows the hand pack freezer line to cross over to the automated packing line.
 
Multi-Line Freezer Infeed

This photograph shows a merger point of three freezer infeed lines. At this point there are several different conveyors including:

Modular belt conveyors,a Wire belt conveyor, a Wire belt bend (under the blue belt conveyor), the blue Belt conveyor and a Belt bend, all of which can be supplied by A&M.
 
Below is an illustration of how this would work.
When in a straight through configuration the modular belt bridge conveyor is not in use and can be pneumatically lifted out of the way to allow easy access for both pedestrians and trucks.   The system works by selecting one of two infeeds onto one line or using two lines together.
