Automation systems

SMI offers compact, flexible systems for dividing and laning bundles and containers of noncylindrical shape.

The distribution of the containers within a production line is made possible by the dividers of the 'DV' and 'GDV' series. The 'DV' dividers receive the loose product in single row, they divide it into several rows and lane it towards the secondary packaging machines.

At present, two models are available:

• alternating motion DV 200, with a maximum output of 350 containers per minute (*);
• continuous motion DV 500, with a maximum output of 750 containers per minute (*).

By contrast, the 'GDV 500' dividers can receive the products on several infeed rows (up to 4) and divide them into several rows at the outlet (up to 6), with a maximum output of 750 containers per minute (*).

(*) the outputs are referred to a ø 50 mm PET container.

Reliability and duration

SMI dividers are made of top-quality materials, ensuring operating reliability and long-term duration. The use of wear-resistant components minimizes the maintenance and cleaning operations, thus reducing the total operating costs.
