Multi-unit vertical distributors

Vertical distributors make it possible to split a conveying flow over two conveying lines running one above the other or to merge them into one line without physically stressing the baggage.

The vertical distributor with two swivelling belt conveyors is used when the throughput rate must be up to 1,800 pieces of baggage per hour. In order to divide the baggage, the two belt conveyors, one behind the other, swivel up and down in opposite directions. The swivelling process is carried out by using a servo motor in connection with a crank drive. This enables exact positioning and very short changeover times - without any physical strain on the baggage.
