Line Dividers & Diverter Switches
Frequently there is a need to either accumulate products from multiple feed lines or alternatively to split products from a single feed to multiple lines. This can be done manually but this is a costly option and the products can be damaged during handling.
WD systems has developed a range of diverters to automatically re-route products. Depending on product flows, the diverters can run at speeds of more than 100 metres/minute. Correct handling from the diverter switches is essential.
In order to prevent products from backing up onto the diverter, WD Systems technology, incorporates a sophisticated jam detector warning system, to:
- automatically divert products away from a blocked line until it is cleared
- Route the correct numbers of products in a predetermined sequence to an automatic case packer or wrappers, slicers, baggers or turntables
- Spread product flows to a freezer, cooling tunnel or oven
- Sort products by weight, size, height, length, width, shape or colour
