System Highlights
• Can achieve speeds of up to 120 PPM
• Provides interposing delivery of pouches from a product filling station to a ‘pouch-in-a-box’ cartoner
• Tabletop conveyors transport product between operations
• Three lanes, each configured with six staging modules, allow for greater speeds and increased throughput
• The Merge Conveyor is equipped with sensors that detect carton jams and backed-up product
The KAIM-120 is the beefed-up version of the KAIM-60 it functions in a very similar way with minor differences designed to provide double the throughput for faster applications.The three primary components of the KAIM-120 are:
1. Pouch Infeed Conveying System
2. 3 Lane x 6 Stage Indexing Module
3. Merge Conveyor Module
Conveying Systems
Located between the pouch cooling tunnels and the infeed indexing modules, tabletop conveyors transport product (juice pouches) between operations. Segregated into two lanes, each is configured into three pouch aisles.
3 Lane x 6-Stage Indexing Infeed Module
The KAIM-120 is comprised of three lanes, each configured with six staging modules. This arrangement allows for greater speeds and increased throughput.
The aluminum frame is guarded by panels over motorized and belt transmission areas to prevent personnel injury. An overhead structure supports and houses photosensors used to detect pouches, one per stage.
The Staging module utilizes regularly-spaced o-rings in grooved shafts to act as the main transport surface for pouched product.
