Overview AXTRA Switch devices are joining and distribution modules for conveyor belts designed to control the routing of individual containers between machines on primary packaging lines. They provide controlled transfer, line separation and connection points to feeding/filling, capping, capsuling, labeling and downstream packaging equipment.
Key functions - Controlled switching and diversion of single-container flow between conveyor paths.
- Line separation and selective routing to alternate machines or lanes.
- Motorized drive integrated into the switching section for precise synchronization with line speed.
- Adjustable guide rails and telescopic support legs for fast format changeover and alignment.
Configurations and versions - Available in steel conveyor section or plastic modular-belt versions according to application needs.
- Illustrated examples: 2 m steel version and 2 m plastic modular belt version.
- Drive: integrated motorized drive unit within the switching section.
- Guides: adaptable guide rails for various container formats and pitches.
Integration and adaptability Each AXTRA Switch is configured to product characteristics, container format, conveyor layout, machine positions and production speed. Custom configurations ensure smooth mechanical and control integration with upstream and downstream equipment on existing bottling and packaging lines.
Benefits - Flexible adaptation to multiple container formats and line speeds.
- Reduced handling interruptions and improved overall line throughput.
- Precise distribution and reliable diversion between machines and alternative routes.
Applications Suitable for primary packaging lines handling liquids, dense, carbonated, viscous or sensitive products; designed to operate with filling, capping, capsuling, labeling and packaging equipment.
