RDS Row Distribution System
Continuous high volume production lines require packaging systems which are able to accept products from the manufacturing process and deliver them to the wrapping machines without manual intervention.
SynchroFEED has developed an extensive range of fully automatic packaging systems, using the conveyor technology, to provide solutions to the different situations that can be found at the end of a continuous manufacturing process, for a wide variety of products
The RDS concept transfers individual product rows coming from the production line at 90º over a secondary conveying system which is going to feed them to the downstream equipment for later on orientation and synchronisation with flow-wrapping machines.
There are different RDS executions depending on the product characteristic and/or production requirements.
RDS DT (Direct Transfer)
Rows are accelerated directly onto the stationary transverse distribution conveyor.
RDS IT (Indirect Transfer)
Rows are accelerated onto a holding station and, when required by the system, are transferred onto the stationary transverse distribution conveyor.
RDS ST (“Soft” Transfer)
Rows are accelerated onto a holding station and, when required by the system, are transferred onto the stationary transverse distribution conveyor which is mounted on a trolley that moves laterally to allow a “soft” product transfer. It is specially designed for fragile, sticky or very long products.
