Packs Combiner Unit

The pack combiner unit allows to combine the flow of packs coming from two different wrapping lines, the product from the two input channels is combined into a single output channel. This facilitates the flow of products from machines having a different number of inputs and outputs and saves energy through the mechanical operation of the handling unit.

Pulsar Engineering has engineered several versions of mechanical, horizontal, or vertical package gatherers.

It typically consists of two paddles that alternatively close the passage of the packs on both lines: when a pack touches a paddle, this opened and, at the same time, it mechanically blocks the opening of the other. The paddle stays in open position while pack transit takes place and product accumulates on the other line. As soon as the flow of packs ends, the paddle is closed and the other one is lifted to allow passage of the product on the other line.
