Product turning conveyors are used to rotate objects, turn boxes, cases and shrink-wrapped bulk product to a specified degree necessary to meet requirements for the next part of a production line. Most common is the for a 90 degree rotation conveyor, although other variances in degrees are possible. The object turning actions are accomplished by bump turns, dual belts operating at different speeds, pneumatic push arms and activated rollers that extend over and beneath the surface of the belt.

Bump Turns

Bump turns are a cost effective turning solution. A simplistic roller arm (bump turn) can be fixed or adjustable - even removable - as needed. Bump turns are most commonly used in low rate applications that do not facilitate a wide range of product sizes. This is an extremely economical box and case turning solution.

 

 

 

Dual Lane Conveyor Product Turners

Dual Lane product turners are unique by using two belts that simply adjust the speeds of the side-by-side opposing conveyor belts to cause the individual product, box or case turn rotation. The dual belt product turner requires the belts running at two different speeds that are set by trial and error, depending on product size and weight. One belt will run faster than the other to rotate the product, with adjustments for adequate gap between products to ensure turning without product collision.

 

 

 

Product Pushers

Product pushers or 90º product transfers are used when the application requires a change in orientation from the narrow edge leading from the upstream equipment, to the wide edge leading for the downstream equipment. 

 

 

Activated Integrated Roller Belting

Roller belt technology allows conveyed products to rest on free-spinning angled rollers rather than on the belt surface. These rollers extend above and below the belt surface and are positioned at an angle in relation to the direction the belt travels. Rollers that are activated by the carry way surface below move products across the direction of roller orientation rather than the direction of driver travel. This approach is used to slide, merge, divert, sort, turn and transfer products as required.
