Pneumatic shifting unit with sliding plate of stainless steel

The containers stand on a sliding plate directly above the floor. Therefore the box changer can be installed below e.g. very low machine discharge conveyors (e.g. with ARBURG injection moulding machines) or below discharge chutes of selection switches.

Parallel Buffer with Pneumatic Shifting Unit

The parallel buffer with shifting unit serves the space-saving buffering of containers on two parallel, counter-run transporting conveyor belts. Empty containers are carried forward on the first belt to the filling position and then moved parallel onto the second belt. Depending on the task, one shifting unit can be used to create a U-shaped material flow or two units to create a complete circulation of the containers.

Especially with complete circulation, this system provides a very good use of space. With the use of only one shifting unit, the return transport can also optionally be accomplished with a roller bed.
