Buyer focus
Flexible packs need enough support and stable transfer.
Pouches and sachets can behave differently from rigid packs. Belt support, transfer points and product spacing should be chosen around the pack size, weight and fill level.
The route should also allow space for inspection, coding or manual packing if those steps are part of the process.
What to compare
- Pack size and flexibility
- Belt surface and transfer gap
- Spacing for coding or inspection
- Operator access for packing
Information to send
- Pack dimensions and weight
- Filled pack stiffness and stability
- Line speed and required spacing
- Downstream packing or inspection steps
Layout planning
Check these four points before you confirm the conveyor route.
Small details at planning stage can prevent unstable transfers, awkward access and output issues later.
Start with the product
Confirm size, weight, base shape and stability before choosing the conveyor type.
Check the machines
Match conveyor height, speed and direction to the equipment on either side.
Allow for access
Keep room for loading, cleaning, adjustment, inspection and safe operation.
Plan the buffer
Decide whether the line needs accumulation to protect output during short stops.
