The handling of containers and products inside a bottling line is a key factor to ensure high levels of production efficiency. Today, in the Industry 4.0 era, in which the production line is characterized by machines that interact with each other, exchange information and collect data, handling has to be smooth and precise, in order to guarantee a more efficient and quicker production.
SMI offers compact and flexible systems for dividing and channeling containers and packs inside the production lines of the food and beverage, chemical and pharmaceutical, detergents and personal care industry.
The dividers /channelers from PACKPOSER and PACKSORTER ranges are equipped with an innovative handling system on three Cartesian axes. Depending on the model of divider chosen, the packs manufactured by SMI secondary packaging machines are arranged in two or more rows, rotated and channeled towards the palletizer or the machine for the secondary re-packaging.

Packsorter
The Packsorter divider / channeler receives the packs on single lane by the packer upstream and through an innovative handling system on three Cartesian axes, arranges them in two or more rows, channelling them towards the automatic palletizing system placed downstream. The divider can receive even packs on double lane, in this case acting as a simple conveyor belt towards the palletizer.
Packposer
The Packposer divider / channeler receives the packs by a packer placed upstream and, through an innovative handling system on three Cartesian axes equipped with a motorized gripper, rotates them and/or arranges them in two or more rows, pre-composing the (re)packaging format under the work program of the secondary packaging machine located downstream.
