Metering Systems
Randomized Product Conveyor – Sanitary
Metering systems are designed to create a minimal pitch of product that are being transported in a random pattern. There are numerous ways product can be metered. The most common way is a brake/meter conveyor system (2 conveyors). The Brake conveyor slows product down to the minimum rate possible while the meter conveyor runs at a faster rate (1.5 to 2 times the rate of the brake conveyor) to pull the necessary gap for the downstream equipment.
Key Features:
Typically for light and medium sized loads. Can be suitable for product, package, carton and case handling. Light duty to medium construction.
Options:
- Washdown construction available
- Option one drive (infeed brake conveyor to be slave driven off metering conveyor tail section)
- High friction belting for metering conveyor
