Conveyor solution straightens packages
Intralox's new singulating system directs clusters of packages, cases, and boxes into a single file, preventing the side-by-side orientation that can block accurate scanning. Installing two Series 400 Angled Roller belts next to each other creates an automated singulation system that is able to straighten all types of packages. The system can be retrofitted onto most existing belt and roller conveyors.
