Oscillating funnel follower provides controlled product transfer
This oscillating funnel follower provides controlled transfer of product from a packaging systems's combination weigher to continuous-motion horizontal tray and carton filling conveyors. Single and multiple funnel designs are offered to meet specific requirements and optimize overall line speeds for both single- and dual-lane conveyors. A dual in-line funnel arrangement achieves filling speeds of 140 containers per minute. No tray/no fill sensors ensure that no product is discharged when there is no container. An independent drive system with servo motor automatically synchronizes the transfer funnels to the conveyor flights and reliably controls the funnel's motion profile to maximize the window for product transfer. All horizontal and vertical motions of the funnels are driven through a single mechanism. The funnels feature heavy-duty stainless steel construction suitable for a washdown environment and meet USDA sanitation standards
