Our high-speed switch divides and merges while maintaining product pitch.

High-Speed Switch

Need to split product flow while maintaining product pitch? It’s what we designed our high-speed switch to do, and at a speed that can’t be overlooked. We currently have high-speed switches splitting product flow at up to 200 fpm.

Product is transferred along a series of sliding carriers, each of which slides freely on a pair of stainless steel carrier rods. Carrier rods are supported between and driven by a pair of our MonoSpan conveyor chains.

Once the flow is split, the product pitch in each output lane will be two times the original pitch for a 1-to-2 lane switch, three times the original pitch for a 1-to-3 lane switch, etc.
