The Twintrack Conveyor was designed to minimise
operator involvement in the automatic filling of
cartons and tubs etc. The system utilises two conveyor
tracks mounted alongside one another, but each travels
in the opposite direction. This system allows the
operator to stand at one end of the conveyor and
place a carton onto the infeed track. It will travel
to the filling point, be filled and then pneumatically
transferred onto the outfeed conveyor where the
carton will return to the operator for closing or
sealing.
The basis of the system above can have many additions,
firstly a Streaming Tray to sprinkle product from
the filler to the container. A Vibrating Station
to settle the product into the container whilst
filling. A Rise and Fall Chute mechanism rises
to allows an empty container into the filling
station, then lowers the chute into the carton
and allows the fill to take place without spillage.
The conveyors are normally slat band but can
utilise endless belt dependent on the client’s
application.
Two main models are manufactured by MDM Packaging
Machinery, one for cartons and containers up to
7Kg. The other for cases, drums and buckets up
to 30Kg in weight.
The in-line automatic system stops the carton
on the conveyor, fills it and lets it pass along
the conveyor.
All of the above can have automatic carton erection,
carton closing and label application as required.
