ARB Conveyor System

Innovative ARB™ Conveyor Design

Manufacturers require efficient, reliable product handling conveyor systems that can maneuver a variety of product types, while managing high throughput within a small footprint. Angled Roller Belt (ARB™) also referred to as Activated Roller Belt™, is a technology patented by Intralox. The ARB™ conveyor systems optimize production line layouts by meeting the demand for efficient and reliable sorting, diverting, and turning of a wide range of applications.

The ARB™ engages the rollers by means of a friction surface located beneath the belt for use of diverting and aligning product. ARB™ conveyors can change the direction, alignment, location, and speed of an item independently without using rails or complicated controls which reduces equipment costs and minimizes labor costs in clearing jams or correcting stoppages. The ARB™ can divert products from their current position to either reorient the product position or direct the product onto a new conveyor at a 90-degree angle.

Attributes:

Flexibility: ARB™ belting is modular in design and repairs can be made by pulling the pin and exchanging the necessary section.
Adaptability: These systems can handle a variety of package shapes and sizes.
Speed: Packages have been tested to travel at 220 packages per minute.
Reliability: Without guide rails, gating and pushers, these systems show a significant reduction in breakdowns and jams.
Low Maintenance: Few components result in less maintenance.

Solutions:

Bump Turn: A fixed or pneumatically controlled protrusion from the side rail added to help start the turning process.
Diverting: Products rest on free-spinning angled rollers that are positioned at an angle in relation to the direction of the belt, including 90-degree transfers from one lane to another.
Product Jams: No downtime caused by product jams or sorting errors.
