Merge Technologies
HK Systems’ merge conveyor technologies consists of Servo Induction Merge and Indexing Servo Slug configurations. The Servo Induction merge component
serves as the system gatekeeper or traffic cop directing the flow from multiple lines to a single line entering a high speed sortation
conveyor. Evenly spaced gaps are created regardless of the product size and traffic volume.
The Indexing Servo Slug configuration combines several sortation conveyor technologies. HKISS accumulates product onto a photo-eye
controlled accumulation conveyor. Proper gapping is required and is measured through a series of brake-meter belts. Product transfers
to a VFD controlled staging belt and accumulates maintaining the gap until full or timed out. The staging belt is released at a higher speed.

- Flexible configurations adapt easily to building constraints while eliminating upstream merges.
