Bag insertion into folding boxes on conveyor

摘要

The conveyor belt (3) is slowed down during bag insertion to less than belt speed outside the insertion area, the bags (13) etc. inserted horizontally or vertically from above and allowed to fall freely at pre-set speed. The belt spaces (2) are expanded before and returned to size after bag insertion. A belt control (10) is coupled to the drive (9) in order to slow the belt down and return to speed after insertion. The bag can be inserted by a cartoning system and designed as a bucket elevator to include a toothed belt (4) fitted with space flights (5) supplemented by a space filling sensor connected in turn to the overall control (10).
