Carton Conveying

Each Realcold Millers Mechanical Carton Conveying system is designed to suit each Client’s individual needs and site specifications. Construction of our systems is efficient, robust, hygienic and reliable.

Fabric & Polymer Belt Conveyors:

Generally used in the meat and food processing industry for conveying product in a hygienic manner to carton packing stations. Included in the design of these conveying systems are belt washing and sterilisation systems.

Roller Accumulation Conveyors:

Roller Accumulation Conveyors are used for conveying all types of flat bottomed, packaged product at varying rates depending on distribution and speed.

They are predominantly employed for transportation and accumulation of cartoned product to and from the chilling or freezing equipment. Realcold Millers Mechanical supply several roller conveyor designs which include, but are not limited to:

Belt under roller accumulation style;
Roller chain drive accumulation style;
Modular belt accumulation style.

Features:

Structural steel frames with internal angled bracing to eliminate dust build up.
Galvanised or stainless steel construction.
Pre-wired electrical control.
Full guarding.
Minimal maintenance.

Diverter Systems:

Carton Diverter Systems are predominantly used in conjunction with roller accumulation conveyors for transferring product automatically to predetermined areas to be scanned by bar-code. These systems include vertical diverters, swing diverters, eccentric driven diverters and gravity mergers.

Spiral Incline / Decline Conveyors:

The Spiral Incline / Decline Conveyors use a lagged roller design for carton transportation to provide a controlled incline or decline delivery as required to meet the Clients production rates. The other design option for Incline / Decline Conveyors is a fabric rough-top belt solution to aid in carton transport where elevation changes are necessary.

Designed to carry product between floors and machines and offers:

Controlled slope for smooth transfer.
Designed to suit individual product.
Can be assembled on site if access restricted, (eg. inside freezer/chiller).
Gravity or powered systems available.
Ideal for in-line accumulation.
Low maintenance.

Elevators:

When space is at a premium and large elevation change is required for carton transportation Elevators will provide the solution. The small footprint of elevators can be an advantage and high process rates can been achieved.

Features:

Gripper type chains for high speed conveying and / or inverting of cartons.
Platen decks for cartons, boxes and pallets.
Hygienic designs.
Interlocked access doors.
Integrated infeed and outfeed conveying.
Automation and electrical control.
Long service life with minimal maintenance
