"Blow through gappers run at a fixed speed to create gaps based on the size of the carton. An optimization gapper uses sensors and speeds up or slows down to create the ideal gap between products, no matter what size the products are. The optimization model is more expensive, but it's a much better choice if you're conveying products of varying sizes."

In some applications, proper gapping between boxes on a conveyor line is necessary. Labeling and scanning require the right distance between the back of a box and the leading edge of the next box. Similarly, sawtooth merges and sortation systems require giving the boxes enough room to turn.
Gapper conveyors create gaps between cartons or products where needed for feeding equipment like sorters, merges or label applicators. It keeps your system working smoothly and at a high speed so you don't lose time or throughput.
