See Positive Throughput Results with a Gapping Conveyor

Prior to purchasing, there are several important factors to consider:

• First, determine the required width and length of the conveyor
• Then, decide on the desired speed and capacity
• Additionally, consider the power requirements and any special features that may be needed

Once these factors have been determined, it will be easier to find a gapping conveyor that meets all the specific needs.

By taking the time to ask these questions upfront, it will be possible to purchase the right gapping conveyor for the application.

• Food
• Packaging
• Automotive

Gapping conveyors are often used in the food industry to help ensure that products are evenly spaced. This type of conveyor can also be used in other industries, such as packaging and automotive.

Gapping conveyors typically feature a series of rollers or wheels that are set at specific intervals. As products move along the conveyor, they are stopped by the rollers, creating a gap between each product. This gap helps to ensure that products do not get jammed together or damaged during transport.

In addition, gapping conveyors can be used to separate different types of products, preventing them from becoming mixed together. As a result, gapping conveyors offer a versatile solution for many industries.

Gapping conveyors are designed for feeding high-speed equipment such as thermoforming machines, printers, and case sealers. In operation, the conveyor belt creates a small gap between each product as it moves down the line. This gap allows the product to be quickly grabbed by the next piece of equipment in the line.

Gapping conveyors are typically used in applications where product stability is not critical, and they offer several advantages over other types of conveyors. For example, they are less likely to cause product jams, and they provide a more consistent flow of product.

When a determined, fixed about of space in needed between products on the conveyor, “blow through gapping” occurs. The conveyor creates the perfect and predetermined amount of space between items to maximize throughput and not waste energy.
