Jenton Ariana has launched a new automatic food pack stacker for end-of-line high speed collation where minimal operator intervention and reliability are desirable.

Capable of operating at speeds up to 150 packs per minute, the collating system features multiple stacking finger modules to drop packs into the stack incrementally in a controlled manner. In addition, stepper-driven infeed and outfeed belts control entry and exit of the trays.

A colour touchscreen makes the machine easy to set up for a large variety of pack sizes, materials, including plastic, card and foil, and stack heights up to 150mm high, whilst all settings can be stored against a name.

Packs exit the outfeed of the converger and enter a short buffer conveyor where the speed is accurately controlled to ensure correct spacing between packs for stacking and indexing. The packs will then drop into the collating pocket.
