In the food industry, optimizing packaging lines is critical to ensuring productivity, quality and flexibility. Mergers are indispensable solutions to improve the production flow, making it continuous and regular, with significant advantages for the entire line.
Mergers enable multiple rows of products to merge into a single row, reducing layout complexity and providing for simper interfacing with other packaging machines. Choosing the right system depends on the type of product and the needs of the line. Pneumatic mergers – a simpler and economical solution – require products that can withstand the pressure during the accumulation phase, and the downstream machines must be able to handle irregular flows.
On the contrary, dynamic mergers ensure accuracy and consistency, even for delicate products that must never touch each other. A dynamic system uses phasing conveyor belts to create the necessary gaps and prevent overlaps. This ensures optimal flow management and reduces the risk of jams, improving the overall efficiency of the line.
The DU-HP series: Tailor-made solutions for high production rates
The DU-HP series from M.H. Material Handling represents excellence in dynamic mergers. The solution proposed by M.H. Material handling provides for 2-by-1 and 3-by-1 product phasing, using a multi-carpet system equipped with independent drives and a suction system for a smooth phasing.
This system is designed for high-speed lines, with production rates up to 600 pieces per minute with flowpack width up to 150 mm. Thanks to their smooth and controlled flow, DU-HP systems reduce the risk of rejects and ensure an optimal interface with downstream machines, improving the performance of the entire line. Brushless technology ensures precision and reliability, making the system suitable for complex layouts and high speeds.
Mergers and dividers: A complete offer
In addition to the mergers, M.H. Material Handling offers a complete range of dynamic dividers for lines requiring multiple flows. The combination of mergers and dividers allows to adapt to different layout needs, maximizing efficiency and reducing waste. In the confectionery, dairy and bakery industries, these solutions are essential to handle high flows without compromising product quality.
Applications across industries
Lines using dynamic unifiers benefit from increased production flow stability, reducing the risk of downtime and optimizing plant space. With systems like those of the DU-HP series, companies can meet the challenges of modern lines with technologically advanced solutions.
Why a dynamic merger
The introduction of a dynamic merger brings many advantages: Smooth flows, fewer wastes and improved integration between the different production stages. Thanks to their modular construction, these systems can be easily integrated into existing or new lines, ensuring a flexible and long-lasting investment. M.H. Material Handling stands out for offering customized solutions, designed to meet specific production needs. Dynamic mergers are not only technical tools, but real allies to improve business competitiveness and the efficiency of packaging lines.
