The "Zipper" Wide Belt Merge Conveyor
Merge cartons from multiple parallel lines
Hytrol’s Zipper is a wide belt conveyor fitted with fixed belt
plows for the purpose of merging cartons from multiple parallel
lines. The conveyor utilizes a unique belt type designed for
tracking on a low length-to-width ratio. Also, tracking idlers are
angled and skewed to properly position the belt on the pulleys.
The plow structure is floor supported and spans the conveyor width.
This structure is used to support the belt plows over the conveyor
belt and near the belt for low profile cartons. The plow support is
designed to allow adjustment of exact plow location.
The conveyor and plows are direct driven with shaft mounted gear
motors and variable speed drives.
