German company Multivac has introduced two new stand-alone versions of conveyor systems for pack converging, which can be retrofitted to thermoforming packaging machines.
The MBS 120 and 220 feature a variety of pack in-feeding, discharging and separating functions within the packaging process
According to Multivac, the two stand-alone versions are equipped with a separate IPC 02 machine control and work independently of upstream or downstream systems.
Multivac said the new systems can be extended from two up to six lanes and are suitable for pack converging as well as for the ejection of reject packs.
The systems are able to converge up to 80 or alternatively 140 packs per minute and are equipped with change cassettes with hygiene-compatible rubber belts for easy format conversion.
