Activated Roller Belt Singulator Fact Sheet

A low to high-speed singulator that employs Intralox's patented Activateed RollerTM Belting, a modular plastic belt with embedded rollers that are spaced 2" apart and extend above and below the surface of the belt. Singulators arrange side-by-side cartons or cartons in a pattern so that they are then conveyed in single file, with proper orientation. Activated RollerTM Belt Singulators consist of 3-4 conveyors with belt rollers arranged in a centering pattern on the first conveyors, and the final conveyor having belt rollers configured in an alignment pattern (see layouts below). Depending on the application, each conveyor may contain rollers set at a 0, 30, 45 and/or 60 degree angle. Alignment may be left-hand or right-hand. ? The first centering conveyor is used to rotate side-by-side packages so that one package leads the other. ? Subsequent centering conveyor(s) at increasing speed(s) pull the side-by-sides apart forming a single file.Packages tend to rotate so that their shortest side is leading. ? Last, an alignment conveyor justifies the singulated packages against a rail to prevent the reoccurrence of side-by-sides downstream. ? It is important to consider that the exit speed of packages discharging from the singulator will average 2.5X or more higher than the in-feed conveyor speed in order to accommodate the additional length created once the packages are single file and oriented length-wise.
