Tray Handling

Step Conveyor

With a capacity of up to 60 trays per minute, the Step Conveyor moves trays forward in controlled steps, creating short stops that allow accurate loading of products while the tray is stationary. This ensures precise placement of products in rows and layers and supports complex loading patterns defined per recipe.

The step length and tray positioning are defined in the HMI recipe to match specific tray sizes and loading requirements. Adjustable guides can be adapted easily to the size of each individual tray, providing safe handling and consistent positioning. The conveyor is equipped with plastic modular belts with flights.

Designed with a small footprint, the Step Conveyor delivers high output in limited space. Built in stainless steel for harsh production environments, it features an open, hygienic design suitable for industrial cleaning and reliable daily operation.

Flexible Integration

Designed to fit seamlessly into automated loading lines, the Step Conveyor can be configured to match different production layouts and space requirements. In this video, you can see a solution where an integrated rack is mounted above the conveyor, utilizing vertical space and minimizing the machine footprint on the factory floor.

Depending on the application, the Step Conveyor can also be combined with a buffer solution, providing additional flexibility and product accumulation where needed. This modular approach makes it easy to tailor the system to specific production flows and available floor space.
