Watch the Smart Conveyor in action

We developed the Smart Conveyor to facilitate reliable continuous automation whilst removing the need for operator intervention. Independently-driven rollers guide correctly-orientated products into case packers and palletisers. The Smart Conveyor automatically accumulates products in accordance with the quantity and speed requirements of the palletiser, simplifying everyday operation.

Models

Reeco offers a choice of conveyor options to suit a wide range of production environments. Built from high-quality stainless steel and food-grade UPVC, our conveyors are available in a variety of dimensions, at a custom line height suited to your existing production processes.

The Smart Conveyor autonomously communicates with an RB palletiser to handle multiple products without the need for any intervention.

We've made it possible to simultaneously feed an RB palletiser with two Smart Conveyors, delivering products to two independent pallet positions.

Reeco belted conveyors are designed for fast, continuous-feed applications, including food-grade environments. The belt speed is controlled by the production demand.

01

Reader and sensor integration

The Smart Conveyor can be integrated with barcode readers or colour/shape sensors to identify products. These sensors communicate with a palletiser to palletise multiple product types on different pallets, or pass the product to the next palletiser in a sequence.

02

Label and print integration

The Smart Conveyor uses a no-pressure accumulation technique, which always facilitates a gap in-between boxes. This is to enable print or labels to be applied to boxes whilst travelling along the conveyor, helping to reduce the overall footprint of your production line.

03

Pick and place optimisation

Reeco conveyors communicate with the robot(s) to pick the correct number of boxes required, handling up to five simultaneously. The user simply defines the box layout, and the robot calculates the optimal pick and place method, even if a pallet layer contains an odd number of products.

04

Upstream integration

The production line is fully cohesive — Reeco conveyors communicate with robots upstream to request products to keep the production line moving. They can also pause production if a conveyor is full, relaying any faults in upstream machines, and stop palletisers if required.

05

Quality inspection

Quality checking can be implemented whilse products travel along a Reeco conveyor. When a product fault is detected, the conveyor can be configured to relocate the faulty product to a rejection area, enabling seamless production to continue without the need to stop the full line.
